While there was of course a hare to the throne of Gondor, it was not Aragorn.

Yet the Stewards denied it. Wasn't it Boromir who said:

Gondor has no Hare; Gondor needs no Hare.

Well, I'm sure that it was in the book somewhere ...
In any event, the claim to the Hare of Gondor was a matter much disputed. When Bugsidoc II, who was born of a union between the Hares of Gondor and the Bunnies of Rhovanion, made his claim, there was much protest from the Furriers of Gondor, led by Elmafud. The resulting civil war was, I believe, known as the Skin-strife.
