* The end of ''The Magician's Nephew'' states that the Tree of Protection in Narnia is linked to its descendent tree in Digory Kirke's garden, and when one blows in the wind the other often does too. It isn't explicitly stated, but the death of the Tree of Protection (allowing Jadis to re-enter and conquer Narnia) probably occurred in parallel to, and simultaneously with, Digory's tree blowing down in a storm (and him making it into a wardrobe.)

* The revelation in ''Horse and His Boy'' that Archenland (at the very least had human rulers and humans among its nobility) and Calormen (wholly human) existed contemporaneously with Jadis's rule of Narnia helps explain why she had spies like Tumnus specifically looking for humans. Humans from these lands may or may not have qualified as "Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve", but she had to at least consider it as a threat.

*** Lewis definitely ''knew'' that stars eventually age and die, because he brings up the mortality of the universe a lot in his non-fiction writings.

** Makes you wonder if what happened if the children had decided to stay in Narnia till their deaths. In our world, their poor mother and father would be left without any answers on what happened to their children especially their mother who send them to the countryside to protect them from the war only to lose them in the end. The professor at best would face scrutiny, guilt and shame for losing the children or worse face legal trouble. Even if they do end up meeting in the afterlife as all afterlifes of all worlds are connected, that will still leave their parents and the professor a lifetime of pain, sorrow and guilt till their deaths.

** It's fortunate that none of them got married or had kids because imagine trying to come back to childhood having been torn away from someone you love and a young child who might not even remember you.

** while Neil Gaiman's "The Problem of Susan" isn't canon, it does bring up an excellent ''and unavoidable'' point:[[spoiler: dozens of people must have died in that train crash. Susan was related to six of them, and knew at least another two quite well (and Digory and Polly are never mentioned to have any living relatives). Susan would have '''had''' to identify at least seven out of those eight, and she probably came across Eustace's corpse at some point as well, especially if her Aunt and Uncle weren't anywhere nearby and she therefore had to identify him too... and ''how many other'' horrifically dead people did she have to look at first???]]

And Susan is specifically absent during the "list of everyone good" reunion scene at the end of ''The Last Battle'', which doesn't bode well for her.]]

** Also, the [=POV=]-characters - the Seven Friends of Narnia, Susan, Shasta, Aravis, Caspian, and the four protagonists from the Horse and His Boy Tirian - together are twelve people.
** This is probably also one of the reasons why Aslan is so (by his standards) ''pissed'' at Rabadash in ''The Horse and His Boy'': he's not only acting as the judge of a war criminal - he's also acting as the (adoptive) father making sure there'll be no more trouble from the jerk who tried to hurt his Little Girl (Susan), only with a curse instead of a shotgun at the ready.
