I find it very strange that Uther in his hatred for magic would order his best friend's only daughter to be killed because of the magic she might have inhereted from her witch mother. Uther described Gorlois as being brave, always saying his mind, noting Uther's mistakes even if Uther didn't like it. On many ocasions Gorlois stood up and oppose Uther just like Morgana did in first two seasons, as Uther said Morgana resembled Gorlois a lot. Then how could such a man as Gorlois let his daughter be killed? Perhaps he was the one, who knew about Morgause having being smuggled out of Camelot, but the relationship between Uther and Gorlois must have ceased by Uther's action.

This is also very interesting that Uther didn't execute Gorlois's wife when he ordered their daughter to be killed. I suppose Morgana is younger than Arthur and Uther's affair must have happened after Igrayne's death. If it is so, how could he have an affair not only with his best friend's betraying his friend wife but also with a witch? How could it have happened if he hated magic so much? If Uther had an affair while Igrayne was still alive, how could he have betrayed his wife whom he decleared he loved so much?

Another interesting point. When Morgause summoned Igrayne's spirit, Igrayne told Arthur that Uther did know that her life would be taken and that he sacrified her in order to have a son. Uther said he didn't know that Igrayne's life would be taken.
