737-800 Aileron Movement

Hi,

Recently flew return sectors in the pax cabin of a 738.
Was sat on the wing both ways and noticed something intersting about aileron movement.
Scenario:

Sat on the right wing.
A/C banks LEFT.
To return to wings level, the aileron on the right wing lowered slightly as opposed to raising. I doubted myself at first, but observed it again on the return.

Could somebody clarify this? Obviously the aileron on the low ring would lower to return return to wings level, but why didn't the high wing aileron raise, and in fact lower instead?

I am aware of some of the aileron logics built into some of the newer FBW a/c, this was incidentally a brand spanking new 738.

Cheers all...
