When I open it after the installation it seems that it "remembered" my previous wallet's name. How is this possible? I uninstalled it.

The uninstaller doesn't delete the data from the AppData. Press WIN + R, enter %appdata% and you should see 'Electrum' folder among some other folders.

Also, what's the point of that seed since I have the private key in a safe place?

It's much easier to back up 12 words than a long private key for a single address, isn't it? Especially, if one wants to keep the backup on some piece of paper or engrave it on some kind of metal.

I had installed it months ago, in order to generate an address, and I wanted keep that address' private key somewhere safe. I did. And then, uninstalled electrum. But few minutes ago I needed to generate another address so I downloaded it again. When I opened it after the installation it seems that it "remembered" my previous wallet's name. How is this possible? Because I'm a little paranoid.
