The article ``From Schwarz to Pick
to Ahlfors and Beyond'', by Robert Osserman, in AMS Notices, vol. 46 (1999), 868 -- 873, is worth looking at to get
a bigger picture of what lies behind the innocuous-looking but powerful Schwarz lemma. In this connection, another interesting place to visit is the Stack Exchange
page on Picard's Little Theorem Proofs.
For which domains D in the plane is it true that every conformal self-map of D is a Mobius transformation? For an answer to this question, see
Conformal Automorphisms of Plane Domains by A. F. Beardon, Journal
of the London Math. Society (1985), 245-253.
