I think Creon's importance is increased because of his position as Jocasta's brother. He becomes more important and his advice has more say in it. Can others think of more reasons?
It could be to show how unaware Oedipus is of that fact that he has married his mother, by showing that he is familiar with the family on Jocasta's side and neither Creon or Oedipus seem aware of that fact. It just adds to the overall dramatic irony of the play
