Given its symbolism it would be more intriguing if Gimli were Galadriel's hare. The hare represents the moon and since Galadriel represents the morning and so the Sun, it could be taken to mean that Gimli was her complemetary opposite, her true soul mate. Of course the hare also represents fertility and sexuality so it could simply be a euphemism that they were more than just good friends
