I'd say that point is saved at that point were the text cursor last was. When 
it was nowhere, i.e., you opened the buffer without "doing" anything, then it 
should be the beginning of the buffer. When you're using desktop.el and/or 
session.el, then the point in the buffer can be preserved between sessions. And 
sometimes I think GNU Emacs caches point and when I re-open the file the text 
cursor is at point where it was when I closed the before before...
