I totally agree your interpretation of Morgana's character. I made a post, few months ago, about the 2x03. Her it is :

"We have to review the episode 2.03 ; the future is written in this episode. The responsability of Gaius is great in this matter. The old man is in complete denial, he refuses to reveal to Morgana his true nature ; doing so, he leaves Morgana in her loneliness, he leaves her think she's mad or she's a monster, eventually he leads her to the darkness. He says he tried to protect her, but, in fact, he throws her in a great distress. Merlin understand it perfectly and what he pains him it's that Morgana doesn't have any mentor to guide her and show her the way. That's what Merlin tells Gaius. The difference between him and Morgana it's that she's alone while he's not. Can we imagine what would have happen if Gaius allowed Merlin to tell her about his magic ? I'm sure that, unlike Gaius thinks, the bound between Merlin and Morgana would have been tightened up and Morgana would not have seen the arrival of Morgause in 2.08 as a relief. Infortunately, the things went wrong for her and she had no other choice but to rely on the only person who recognized her as who she truly was."

But, in 2x12, she relied blindfully on the judgement and the action of Morgause. She was the vessel of the enchantment, but didn't know it ; she was the source of the evil, but didn't know it. Merlin knew she was, but he thought that she knows while she didn't, that's why, in the first place, she didn't understand why he poisoned her.

In fact, til the epi 2x12, Merlin never listen to the Dragon about Morgana. He always tried to protect her, and the only mistake he made was listening to Gaius in not revealing his magic to Morgana.
