We initially thought that Merrin was playing the same Ursula as Yvette, and it later turned out that they were actually two different Ursulas. Between Naveen being unavailable and having to work around Wonderland's existing storyline, they may have thought it'd be easier to just make Oded's Jafar separate. There could be some sort of twist. Another observation is that the snake staff looks different than the one from Wonderland, which could be another hint. My only problem with this is why would their be another Jafar who is an evil sorcerer with a snake staff? One Ursula being an old deity and the other being a mermaid named after the deity who transformed herself to look like the deity made sense, but how would they explain the similarities between these two Jafars, if they are different? Actually, I just thought of one way, but it is a stretch, and would mean that Jafar was actually sent back in time. But here it is: After Jafar (from Wonderland) is turned into a genie, his bottle winds up going back in time, where it is found by a man (let's call him Ali Baba, just for giggles). Ali having found Jafar's bottle gets three wishes. Ali talks to Jafar and finds out he used to be a powerful sorcerer before being turned into a genie, so he wishes that he becomes just like how Jafar described himself before becoming a genie. This fake Jafar is Aladdin's Jafar and he takes over Agrabah. Eventually, Aladdin and Jasmine figure out how to defeat him, by using another genie (the genie who eventually becomes the Magic Mirror), and both Jafar's perish. Aladdin and Jasmine have a son, who becomes the sultan of Agrabah, and this sultan eventually has an illegitimate child named Jafar. So Wonderland's Jafar is the grandson of Aladdin and Jasmine. Like I said, it's a stretch, but could work.
