It actually states in the JM Barrie script that they are to be played by the same person I think... it has been years since I read the original script)
From Wikipedia: There is a slight romantic aspect to the story, which is sometimes played down or omitted completely. Wendy's flirtatious desire to kiss Peter, his desire for a mother figure, his conflicting feelings for Wendy, Tiger Lily, and Tinker Bell (each representing different female archetypes), and the symbolism of his fight with Captain Hook (traditionally played by the same actor as Wendy's father), all could possibly hint at a Freudian interpretation (see Oedipus Complex)
The symbolism of Hook as Wendy's father was pretty obvious and intentional. Jim just made it more obvious in Neverland by making them one and the same person.
