I think the Valar on purpose made him seem the least of the five (smaller,and leaning on a staff) because they knew he was the wisest and most trustworthy.
I disagree. Olorin's appearance as Gandalf made sense in that it coordinated with his personality. He was humble and underestimated himself. The appearance was only fitting.
