Just because the front of the hat is lighter than the top does not mean that it the lightsource is coming from directly in front. This is where you're failing at interpreting lightsources. It simply means that the lightsource is SOMEWHERE below the 90degree mark. Also the highlight is slightly to the right of the the tophat.
A gate I made for iClassic:
Would you call that pillowshading? Because the front of the gate is lighter than the top.
