there are some things in TMN that simply have to have come by way of conversations with Tolkien, particularly the Trees of Gold and Silver (and the guardian white Tree)
The creation of the world through song is very Tolkienic, too.
I also love the portrayal of Jadis in this book, and although I doubt they're going to make this one into a film, I would LOVE to see Tilda Swinton play it. It makes a lot of sense to me that Jadis came into Narnia from elsewhere. Although there are some things about Narnia that she comes to understand, she is not of Narnia; she and the land are fundamentally alien to each other.
