That magic lamp in Jafar's collection, is not Sidney's.

It is just the lamp of some random genie, and a reference to the original Aladdin tale.... which featured the Genie of the Lamp, and the Genie of the Ring. Do not think too deep, into it. Jafar just needs three genies, to be able to change the Laws of Magic.

OUaT is infamous for twisting the tales. In this version, Aladdin might turn out to be the Sultan's heir, and Jafar's younger half-brother.... with the genie of the story, being Cyrus.
