the roof may have been done with 2 layers of 15 , arguably equal or better 
than 1 layer of 30
All you have to do is ask.
Also all felt may have been 30, the wrapper may not be directly from your 
home , Ask

They may have run out of 30 and finished 1 section with a piece of 15, you 
could  ask.
Some shingle mfgs insist on shingles being installed over 15 lb felt as 
stated on the wrapper instructions
I'dbe more concerned that the shingles were nailed to code and flashing 
installed and cemented properly
