just a post update

Your estimates are quite good.  I do have my own opinion based on my recollection of the reading material about the heights of the following ladies and gentlemen:

1. Prince Viserys/King Viserys 3:  5'11" to 6'0". Shorter than your average Targaryen.  
2. Mance Rayder is noticeable taller in comparison to Jon Snow.  5'11".  I am in agreement.
3. Greyworm.  I don't recall his height being confirmed.  My guess is about 5'10" or 5'11".
4. Jon Snow at 16 is about 5'9". I do not think he will get the chance to reach full height.  
5. Princess Daenerys at 15 is about 5'4". She may add an inch when she reaches her full maturity.  It is hard to say. She is short for a Targaryen.
6. Prince Rhaegar was tall.  Noticeably taller when compared to his younger brother.  6'1" to 6'2"
7. Ser Jorah. 6'2"
8. Ser Barristan. 6'4". Long reach gives him advantage.
9. Robb Stark. 5'7" at his death.  
10. Jaqen. completely unremarkable.  5'9"

Yeah I agree, i think Jaqen is probably 5'9". I don't know though, it's never said in the books but I imagine his height changing like how Jarlaxle's height changes in the Forgotten Realms novels. Mance Rayder is said to be average height but for some reason a height like 5'9" seems rediculous for someone like him. He might be naturally 5'9" without boots or anything. Jon Snow's height is probably closer to what you said. If he lives on to the age of, say, 19 then he'd probably be 5'11". But i think he'll be dead before that or the story will end before he's nineteen years old. I don't think Barristan or Jorah are that tall. Well, maybe Barristan but Jorah just never struck me as a tall guy. His father does. But i think you're right about all this. except for Jorah but his height is never specified to it's up to interpretation.

Arya was around 4 feet in ASOS, so she's small for her age:

Beside the embers of their campfire, she saw Tom, Lem, and Greenbeard talking to a tiny little woman, a foot shorter than Arya and older than Old Nan, all stooped and wrinkled and leaning on a gnarled black cane.
-Arya IV, ASOS

Ned, Gendry, and many of the others were fast asleep when Arya spied the small pale shape creeping behind the horses, thin white hair flying wild as she leaned upon a gnarled cane. The woman could not have been more than three feet tall. The firelight made her eyes gleam as red as the eyes of Jon’s wolf. He was a ghost too. Arya stole closer, and knelt to watch.
-Arya VIII, ASOS

[Lucius Vale]

Just a quick note, I would like to mention the heights of Rorge and Lem Lemmoncloak before anyone goes insane for listing the two to be six and a half feet tall. First of all, both Sandor and Gregor are said to be some of the biggest people in westeros. They are feared and famed. It wouldn't make sense for Rorge to be 5'10" or even 6' tall and be feared as the Hound (wearing his dog-helm). how in god's name does that make sense? I mean unless the guy puts on special padded boots. I guess MAYBE it could make sense.

[Kienn]

Eddard more like 5'8"-5'10".

[James Arryn]

Garlan must be taller. Renly is described as ‘just/slightly’ smaller than Robert and Garlan fits his armour. 

[WOLF_YOUNG]

Robb isn't 5'7 and jon is the shorter one who carries his sword on his back. At the time of his death robb is said to have been noticeably taller then catelyn whos 5'8 at least and hes the only thats been growing tall and is described tall rather then jon so id wager he was probably 6 feet by the time of his unfortunate death. Jon on the other hand is maybe 5'9 since he essentially ned copy
