I never saw him look so tall" who is the person mentioned? What does the speaker mean by the above statement?

Dear Student,
The person in the given lines is Mr. M.Hamel. He is a French teacher in the story " The Last Lesson". He is ruler-wielding stereotyped teacher, who is very strict and domineering. The speaker of the given statement is Franz. He did not seem to have any friendly feelings towards his teacher M.Hamel. His feelings for his teacher, however, changed when he reached school on the fatefull day of the last lesson. In the above statement the speaker means to say that he never saw his teacher with the same respect and dignity with which he saw him that day.
Regards.
