Sprites can be as small as you like, down to 1x1 pixels.
You can display sprites anywhere on screen, no alignment
needed; alignments affect textures' pixel and clut areas in VRAM.
Must be due to something else.

Is there a minimum size for sprites? I tried a 4x4 sprite over the weekend
and nothing appeared! However, on second thoughts, as the image of the
sprite was in a 16x16 grid that is used for background cells (the small
sprite used to be displayed by the background routine) the actual image of
the sprite is in the center of the cell. Could it have been because the
sprite did not start on a 16 pixel boundary along the X axis?
