actually Napoleon was normal height but he surrounded himself with elite bodyguards all of whom were above 6' tall, so he looked diminutive beside them

also, IIRC his height was reported in french inches, which the british press then did not convert to british inches, so he sounded short, and they kinda ran with this as propaganda.
