I'm a good 6 inches shorter than my parents. Both of my grandmothers were short like me, but still taller. I used to wear platform shoes and hoped that I wouldn't need them someday, but alas, I'm done growing.
At 16, you might have a little left to do, but unless it's a big growth spurt, I wouldn't expect more than 1 or 2 inches. Do you drink a lot of caffeine or did you as a child? I absolutely did, and I maintain to this day that it stunted my growth!
It doesn't really bother me anymore though - I found myself a nice tall husband who can reach the high shelves. =)
Chances are you will start shrinking at age 20-25. People who are under 5 feet of height usually don't have enough muscle mass and bone density to counteract the force of gravity. You could end up at 4"7 by age 25, but there is a chance you could stay the same or grow an inch or two.
