By that line of thinking, their characters should have been cast for actors that could act in the same manner and sound like they did in the Raimi films. This is clearly not the case, because Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Peter Parker was nothing like Tobey Maguire's.
I didnt think Michael Massee (funboy) sounded like Dafoe at all, and there's no way in my opinion that funboy has the chops to play an iconic villain the likes of Norman Osborn/Green Goblin.
Ive narrowed it down to what I believe could be the man in shadows.
1. The Lizard Brain.
This would explain the appearance out of thin air for this character, and his similar vanishing. He is a manifestation of the Lizard Brain. The camera zooms in on scales that are still present on Connors' neck, basicly showing us that the antidote did not destroy the Lizard completely. Why this probably isnt it, is why would the Lizard ask if Curt told Peter the truth about his father? Since the two are basicly one, he probably wouldve known.
2. Michael Morbius.
Morbius is mentioned in the game that follows the film, but the story had to be approved by the film studio first. Morbius becomes the Living Vampire, and vampires do that appear/disappear crap quite a bit. His employ at Oscorp and participation in the cross species program would have given him knowledge of Richard Parker, and given reason to ask the question. Also, Morbius is more suited to the type of villain that I could actually see funboy cast as.
3. Its a total throwaway scene that probably shouldnt have even been there given the fact that they never delve into what actually happened to Richard and Mary save what Rajit says to Curt about it when he refuses to test the serum on humans. Had they done what they originally wanted and done the full "untold story" thing, this scene would probably make a lot more sense.

I'm almost certain it's going to be Morbius.
The Morbius/Lizard story line is one of Marvel's favorite. Considering their re-release of it back in the 90's.
Another story line of comics that I read as a child and still own to this day that is going to be brought to the big screen.
I doubt they're going to do the whole 6 arms thing though.
