Aslan isn't a mentor; Aslan is a goal. I don't think the Narnia books have a big mentor type (and that's part of the point, the children learning to take responsibility through their own trials and experience). Probably most children's books don't have mentors, as part of the Get Rid of the Adults paradigm. (Though there is Dallben in the Prydain books.)
There are some lesser mentor characters in the Narnia books: Caspian's teacher (whose name I forget), Bree in The Horse and His Boy, Puddleglum in The Silver Chair -- unless the latter two are Aragorn/Protector types.
