I do not agree that Lewis intended Narnia to be viewed as heaven, or even as a metaphor for heaven. There is real evil which is perpetrated in Naria in each of the books, evil which is then fought with the aid of Aslan. I rather see Naria (or at least the "shadow" Narnia) as a metaphor for our earthly struggles with sin and evil. The "true" Naria may be seen as one aspect or element of heaven, just as his discription in The Great Divorce offers a different view. But as to actually defining heaven, I do not think even Lewis, as great an author as he was, ever dared that.
