Okay, let me explain myself a bit. When I called Morgana a heroine, I was directly referring to the good person she once used to be. She was once very good and motivated others to do good things as well, like encouraging Arthur to save Merlin and trying to convince Uther not to kill Guinevere's father.

And although she is now very much a villainness, saying that she has no good left in her isn't exactly right. Just look at how she forgave Mordred after he had stabbed her and hit her unconscious! Yes, one may say this was only because he possessed very valuable information, but I don't think it was entirely because of this. Seeing how she mourned for Mordred and how broken she was clearly shows how much she cared for him.

And also, I do not believe Aithusa was just merely her tool. Just look in the beginning of Arthur's Bane: Part Two. It shows very clearly how she actually cares for Aithusa as well and worries if she is still there.

And besides, as you pointed out all the things she had done, I am not in any way saying they were right. But when it comes to Morgana, one must take into consideration that she didn't just turn into a villain on her own. Merlin for example tried to poison her although she had not done anything bad to him (yet).
