OK. This has been dealt with elswhere. Short answer; in your house it doesn't matter.
Long answer: From the bottom. If the roll is in a public toilet, contained within a locked box, the roll can rewind out of reach of the next user if the feed is on the top. On the bottom, this doesn't happen.

Most annoying TP dispenser in the world:
I've seen one that locks after rotating once, in effect allowing you to only tear off 2 squares at once. The "axle" was off center, so it would rotate back after you pulled it, which ensured the end would roll over the top and be hanging down, ready for the next pull. It was some extremely clever engineering, but it made me want to scream.
