True, but she could at least have given Arthur the benefit of a doubt instead of jumping to conclusions. It would have been a good idea to give her good reasons to believe that Arthur was involved in her being held prisoner and being tortured. I'm still baffled that Morgana obviously had no desire whatsoever to take revenge on the Sarrum. [SNIP]

Uther had killed Sarrum on the spot for what he did to Morgana. To be honest, it doesn't surprise me that Morgana wouldn't give Arthur the benefit of the doubt, given his attitude towards magic. She may also have assumed that the Sarrum would brag about the fact that he had captured her. Believing that Arthur was party to her capture would make sense if she was captured in Camelot, as she would have been operating on the assumption that the Sarrum was in the kingdom with Arthur's knowledge and approval.

However, I think that there was never any real thought given to that aspect of the storyline, so the characters' reactions are off.

I agree that Uther would have killed the Sarrum. Had he learned that Morgana was a captive before her escape, I could see him trying to ransom her back.
