A low obstacle (such as a wall no higher than half your height) provides cover, but only to creatures within 30 feet (6 squares) of it. The attacker can ignore the cover if he’s closer to the obstacle than his target.

AFAIK, if a halfling is standing next to a hill giant and is between you and the hill giant, the hill giant gets cover from your missile attack.

Yeah, I believe that's how it works and it makes no sense whatsoever.

Technically, I see no rule that says that fine creatures do not grant cover... play that your hill giant doesn't have fleas, because they can give him cover!

With a ranged weapon, you can shoot or throw at any target that is within the weapon's maxmimum range and in line of sight.

Really? I was unaware that there was any such rule. Could you point me to it?

From http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_lineofsight
Two creatures can see each other if they have line of sight to each other. To determine line of sight, draw an imaginary line between your space and the target's space. If any such line is clear (not blocked), then you have line of sight to the creature (and it has line of sight to you). The line is clear if it doesn't intersect or even touch squares that block line of sight. If you can't see the target (for instance, if you're blind or the target is invisible), you can't have line of sight to it even if you could draw an unblocked line between your space and the target's.

Big Creatures and Cover
Any creature with a space larger than 5 feet (1 square) determines cover against melee attacks slightly differently than smaller creatures do. Such a creature can choose any square that it occupies to determine if an opponent has cover against its melee attacks. Similarly, when making a melee attack against such a creature, you can pick any of the squares it occupies to determine if it has cover against you.

The halfling case here would not offer cover because A)He can only cover one square and more importantly B)Large creatures are a cube(2 squares tall) thus meaning the upper squares wouldn't be blocked by an adjacent small creature.
