I just had my third lesson Jiu Jitsu, and I am learning some basic throws right now. From my own experience, I can say that the smaller guys had trouble performing a hip-throw with me, because they couldn't get my legs of the ground. I am 6 foot 5, so that was a small advantage for me.
Still, I don't think size matters, nore does weight or strength. If you apply a technique right, everybody will fall or be barred, no matter what size, weight or strength they have.

The shortest guy I grapple with is the best, his technique is awesome and he has total control over me - he throws me around like a rag doll despite the 40lbs + difference. He can literally roll me around as he wishes to do do.
In comparison to grappling with a taller guy, I feel his weight on me more, but I don't feel him controlling me with technique, he controls me with his weight more - he can hold me in a position, but can't roll me around like the smaller guy.
There's a huge gap between skill, so I don't know if I can make a generalisation off that. Passing a tall guy's guard really is a * though, especially when they use the butterfly guard and not the closed guard.
