  Has anyone ever seen a reason why Ashkenaz wraps tefillin coming in 
while Sfard wraps going out?  ------------------------
   
  I recall hearing a reason for both. But I only remeber why Nusach Ashkenaz winds 'inward'. It is becuase we are winding toward the heart rather than away from it. I don't know why that's considered important, though.
   
  I'm not sure this is all that helpful but it's a start.
