A/C engages by itself at certain temps?

I've had my '07 for a few months now and on the handful of warmer days we've had (35-40ish degrees F) I'll start the car and sometimes find the A/C has engaged itself automatically. Is this by design? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to pass the "fluke" threshold.

If you did not turn off the a/c before you turned off the ignition, then yes, it will be on like the last time you used it.

So I'm guessing it isn't common! When this has happened, I generally have the temp dial maybe half way (straight up), the fan on speed 1, and the output directed to the floor. It never happens while the car is running - only when I first start it up, and it's never done it when its real cold - only when the temp hits around 32 or higher. I've tried leaving it on to see if it magically shuts off but seems to stay on.
