Well....Aslan is the CREATOR of Narnia and like T_L_P said, he's kind of symbolising God. And I think the children who come to Narnia are the 'lost sheep', and Aslan puts them on the right path and sends them home again.
Usually children who come to Narnia need help and guiding if you get me, like Edmund. He was angry that he had to leave home, and in the movie yelled at Peter for 'acting like Dad'. But in the end he learns to be selfless and helps to save Narnia.

I think its because Aslan created Narnia and like Princey says he symbolises God. He is very important in the stroies because he guides the children through Narnia and helps them in a way that no one else could, it is his country so he must be present, he is the King of Narnia.

I agree with you on that. That is the truth and some what coolness of Aslan. Yet like it says in the books " He isn't safe but he is good."

Well to his enmeys he isn't safe, look what he did to the White Witch and Rabbisha the Redicolus. And yet he is good to all who love him and call him King in Narnia over all High Kings.

I agree with everyone's responses, however, I think Aslan is the tie that binds all the books. I couldn't imagine a Narnia book without the apperance of Aslan!

Aslan is kind of NECESSARY if there is to be a Narnia, cause he created it.

I think C. S. Lewis was using Aslan as an example of Christ. Look in the "The Magician's Nephew", you'll find that a church-going english chap knew him before. Definitely some ideas form.

Aslan is the center theme that the books all revolve around. Narnia itself is the major focus point, but even before Narnia and after Narnia ceases to exist, Aslan is still there. In every series there is always something the series is about--i think in a way, the stories are really about Aslan told from another person's eyes. Aslan was the charecter C.S. Lewis could not stop thinking about--without Aslan, none of Narnia or the series would be.
And i think i've said more than enough

Obviously, Lewis was a Christian and his books have subtle (if not very bold) Christian themes. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Aslan says something about being known in the Pevensies' World by another name. I always assumed his name was God, and it made sense to me that God should be in all aspects of our lives and at all times, just like Aslan.
Aslan was the living embodiment of Narnia. As the Queen of England refers to herself in the royal plural (We hereby open Parlement) because she is the living nation (not its citizens but the governmental nation) Aslan was the living Narnia. All things were created through him and therefore were his sons and heirs to his promises.

Well, Aslan is the king. He's just an amazing character, and should be in every book. He helps everyone on their way in and out of Narnia. You can't have a book without Aslan! He's just the best.
