Explanation is easy: Emacs takes the fill prefix (the "//" is a fill
prefix) from the second line of each paragraph.  That way, you can do
stuff like the following

        Look, this is a paragraph where the first line is indented
    eight spaces and all subsequent lines are indented four spaces.
    I can just keep on typing and the indentation will be correct.
    The four spaces that get inserted automatically in front of each
    line are the fill prefix.

Tell Emacs that each non-comment line is the start of a new
paragraph: see variable paragraph-start, and also paragraph-separate,
perhaps.
