      Zombies and some other mobs (slimes, silverfish, endermites...) sometimes don't succeed in hitting you if you aren't in the middle of a block. Instead they will try to hit the middle of the block.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a superflat world with cheats enabled
      2. Run the command /tp @p 0 ~ 0.9
      3. Run the command /gamerule doMobSpawning false
      4. Run the command /time set night
      5. Run the command /summon Zombie ~ ~ ~-5
        This does not always seem to work, tough.

      Or an easier method:

      1. Place down a wall an walk as close to it as you can
      2. Spawn a zombie in front of you and note how it doesn't succeed in hitting you

      EDIT:
      Now mostly happens with baby zombies. Also see marcono1234's comment.
