Q: Using a Personal Hotspot over wifi

I am confused by how to use a personal hotspot over wifi.  If my iphone needs to be connected to a wifi hotspot in order to use a personal hotspot over wifi then why dont I just connect my laptop to the same wifi hotspot that my iphone is connected to bypassing the iphone.  The whole idea of a personal hotspot is to be able to get internet access using the iPhones cellular service when wifi isnt available.  I have successfully used bluetooth and usb connections but dont understand why i would want to use wifi through the iphone.

iPhone 4S, Windows 7
