"K":

I have always thought of Snape as tall, but as far as I know there
is no canon to back that up. Snape is never described as tall. He is
thin but I have never found any mention concerning his height other
than:

"I'll get to the point, then," said Sirius, standing up. He was
rather taller than Snape...
