I have nothing to add, except to say Gen's shortness is one of his defining physical characteristics in my imagination. Even after he grows in QoA, I still imagine him as comparatively small and lithe (only now small for a man instead of for a fifteen year old boy). And his smallness gives him an ease of motion and a grace that other people don't have.
I seem to remember a description in KoA of him and Teleus facing off, with Gen "like a cat standing its ground to the barnyard dog". (or something. too lazy to get my book). At a couple inches shorter than the Queen, he'll definitely be shorter than most of the other men around. In CoK for the first time he'd have to look up to meet Sophos's eye. (Sophos being taller than him is somehow adorable to me).
