Observational and theoretical arguments in favor of a supposed serious asymmetry of magnetic flux loops emerging through the convective zone are briefly summarized. Results from numerical models of flux tubes moving through a differentially rotating upper convective zone are presented (plane parallel geometry, SFT approximation). In most models, especially in the most realistic ones, a remarkable asymmetry of the flux loop is found. It is concluded that in the future observational effects caused by the asymmetry may be used to put quantitative constraints on subphotospheric rotation.
