LOL- but it makes more sense to me than other rabbit connections I could think of.

How about the fact that rabbits are a typical part of the magician tricks, dis/appearing in/out of the hat etc? It's a good abtraction of illusion or trickster that also works as a metaphor of Sawyer's situation as well: he is not only tricked by mind-games and illusions of Ben but he is like that very rabbit himself, a play thing, a catch to keep in the bag to manipulate, ab/use etc.. The same goes for Kate and Jack as well I think.
