Jadon:

It is suspicious. Harry thinks it's suspicious, and so would any  
other student who bumped into Tonks. A teacher might get fetched, and  
they'd think it was suspicious too, unless they were a member of the  
OotP, in which case they would soon find it odd that 'Tonks' knew  
nothing about the plans of the Order.

Jadon:

He's talking to Ron and Hermione, and they're used to strange  
coincidences around Harry. Hermione might not suspect an  
impersonator, but:

"'It's a bit odd,' said Hermione, who for some reason looked
very concerned. 'She's supposed to be guarding the school,
why's she suddenly abandoning her post to come and see
Dumbledore when he's not even here?'"

The fact that Professor Trelawney got in gives credence to the  
theory, but if Draco had wanted to spare Crabbe and Goyle humiliation  
(does he care?), why not simply use a different spell?
