I was stuck by #7, "When he kills all of Susan's family at once." That's a classic case of not accepting the author's premise.
If you grant the assumption of the series that Aslan is actually an incarnation of God, then killing people's entire families at once is something that Aslan does all the time. It probably happens every day, in the primary world, and theists believe that what happens in the primary world is God's will. This isn't strange or foreign to people who know the scriptures—it's all there in Job.
