There are a couple of problems with using the size of a pixel to size the probe.
First of all the data probe probes all sorts of data types, not just imagery, 
and
we really don't know the "size" of the item we are probing. Also, the probe is
in X/Y space, not LAT/LON, and its size is automatically scaled as you zoom
in and out.

That said, your question got me to add in the ability to increase or decrease
the size of the probe point (the small size of the probe has bothered me in the 
past).
Also, I added the ability to change the type of the marker (e.g., a star, a 
cube, etc.). 
This will be under the "View" menu for the ProbeControl on our next release.
