You must know that
.* matches
the directory .
and the directory ..

To wit:

$ echo .*
. ..  .AbiSuite .adobe .alias .amaya .amazonmp3 .asoundrc .aspell.en.prepl

Notice . and .. ???

If you want to pick up onlythe dot files, then use
.[a-zA-Z]*

$ echo .[a-zA-Z]*
.AbiSuite .adobe .alias .amaya .amazonmp3 .asoundrc .aspell.en.prepl
I have a bazillion dot files in my home dir. I only copied and pasted a few.
