As far as I know, they are totally diferent species, that coincidentally look alike. The European hares closest relative is the roe deer(?)
But Im not a biologist. Probably someone with real knowledge can say something about it

No real biologist, but no. They are 2 different, but closely related species - certainly closer than deer!
