Oh yeah, another one?  Where does it give Pansy's hair color?  The 
reversal of the classic blond-is-good, brown/black-is-bad is nice, but 
I wonder if JKR has any idea how far she takes it.

LOL!  That is a great comfort to this sloppy knitter.

Nope, it mentions neither.  Dean just is not mentioned at all in the 
Sorting scene (we miss everyone between Potter and Turpin, what with 
Harry sitting down in a daze, being patted by Nick, etc.), and IIRC, 
there's never another mention of his height in any of the books.
