You could compare almost any character to a mockingbird in this story. The two most obvious would be Scout and Jem because the loss of innocence that they experienced throughout the story can be compared to killing a mockingbird.

You aren't comparing the characters to a mockingbird but rather you are comparing the way that they were changed by the events of the story to the destruction of something pure and innocent.
