I have to disagree to...well...all your points, actually. Morgana does make a good leader. She always gathers the strongest allies around her, is calculative, has achieved to overthrow Arthur twice and, had it not been for Merlin, she would have succeeded both times. That's what the show implies, by calling it "Merlin", he's the one that saves the day. Yes, she was afraid, not because she lost so many men but because she learnt of Agravaine's death and because she had just seen the man that is her death. She is not a coward, she was just surprised, which is only human. Besides, if she stayed, she would have easily defeated both Merlin and Gwen with the sword, so she probably left in order to remove the poppet. Proof? She fought at least 3 knights, who were superior fighters to her, so she does not choose to fight only weaker enemies. In addition, she later returned and happened to meet Gwen and you do not even know if she wanted to meet her in the first place or if she returned to face Arthur. So she is definitely not a coward, she's been one of the bravest characters throughout the show and the only one who has dared to face Uther.

I think that you hate Morgana too much...she is as good a character as anyone is, not better, not worse, she just happens to be on the bad side because that's what the legend is supposed to be and because the show needs a villain.
