Wordpress jquery hosted on top

in all my wp projects im include jq script in footer like that:

wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
wp_register_script( 'jquery', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery2.1.js', array(), false, true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );

ofc this is add_action to wp_enqueue_scripts. But in one of project i see - jq included in top of page. Strange, i set last param to true, it means - footer. What is thing forced my jq jump to top ?

Note: if i set another script name (not jquery) this script returns to regular placement behavior(depends on settings ofc) why scriptname "jquery" do this?

Look on your HTML source code to see what javascript files are directly beneath it. If a plugin's javascript file that is enqueued to the header is set to require jquery, then jquery will be loaded prior to that javascript file.
