Since "wizened" means "shrivelled", the description that Tolkien gives does rather suggest someone of shorter stature than your average man of Rohan. Did anyone actually imagine Grima as anything other than diminutive and hunched when they first read LotR? I certainly didn't. I saw him much as the films portray him.
