I'm rubbish at this lark but I would say that roll centre and centre of gravity are two different things.

Is it not the difference in height between the two that determines how much "roll" will take place? The CofG is the point at which the mass can be considered to act whereas the roll centre is the theoretical point about which the chassis can be considered to roll.

If the roll centre is low and the CofG high then it will lean like a sailing boat in a gale! If they were both at the same height then it wouldn't lean at all.
