My house had one dormer put in at the time it was built, from what I can tell anyway. There's another dormer that was added later.
Anyway, the original dormer is framed as shown in the picture below
Take a look at the ceiling joists shown in the picture. Am I right in assuming that there needs to be an interior wall on the other end of those joists all along the width of the dormer? (Or some sort of support; beam, etc) And thus some of the ceiling (not roof) load would be transferred to that interior wall, and thus loading the floor joists that the wall sits on?
