forks

Novice question im sure,
My buddy is looking around craigslist for a new bike and she found one that looked weird to me. I realized it was because the fork kind of had a swoop foreword to it, where as most bikes i see (including mine) has a fork that goes straight down from the stem. Assuming she finds a bike, it will get converted to a single speed if it isnt already.
Is there any advantage to having a straight or bent fork?
