I think it's an extreme case, I agree, but I don't think that makes it unrealistic. I think it's perfectly realistic and makes complete sense. I love it.

This is coming from someone who grew up with a father afflicted with Brain Cancer from a young age-Brain Cancer changes people, and it changed my Dad into, at times, a very unpleasant man. I'm not allowed to feel anger towards him, though, because that wasn't him, that was the Cancer.

Point being, trust me, I, too, know what a complicated father-child relationship is. Jafar's makes perfect sense in my eyes. I love it, it adds a lot to his character and makes me want to see him more and more and know what else he's capable of.
