By divider if you mean somthing that runs from the bottom of your roof(eave) to the top of your roof(ridge), this is used for different reasons. 1. Tiles/Slates on the neighbouring roof are differant. 2. Tiles/Slates on the neighbouring roof have slipped and you have had a new roof and it has been set to the correct gauge. 3. Tiles/Slates on the neighbouring roof have been set out wrong where there is not enough overlap. This is called a bonding gutter and is the best option should any of the points above be the case. It ensures a fully water tight finish and if that is the case it sounds like your roofer has done a good job.
