Maybe the change wouldn't have been as quick and complete, but I think she would still have been willing to let Gwen, Arthur, and Merlin die along with everyone, if she felt that she had to. I don't think she would have been as willing to target them, but if somebody else said that she had to let them die to be free she would have allowed it.

We might not have found out that Uther was her father. I mean she was going out to meet Morgause when Merlin pushed her down the stairs and put her in that coma-like state. If she wasn't in mortal danger and unconscious, Uther probably wouldn't have spilled that secret.

I guess that I've just been assuming that Morgana would meet some other sorcerer who was against Camelot, but if that wasn't the case than I think Morgana might have gone looking for the druids again. Probably would have run into Mordred again(just cuz) they would have worked on magic together, and gotten really mad after watching more of their friends die, and eventually lead an army against Camelot.

Or she stays in Camelot, scared out of her mind. Eventually Uther finds out about the magic(she was terrible at keeping it secret) and either sticks her in a tower, or makes Gauis give her secret magic lessons, just to get it under control, not like, actually use it.

Stuck in a tower scenario-she eventually get's out and kills Uther, and tries to take down Camelot.

Gauis magic lessons-Either she is content with having Uther's love and being exempt from the killing sorcerers thing, she get's power hungry and feels restricted about not being able to use her abilities to their fullest extent and turns on Camelot, or she still sees killing other magic users as wrong and turns on Camelot.

So, yeah, those are my first thoughts on never meeting Morgause. I mean maybe I'm totally wrong, and I know a lot of people think she would have no doubt stayed a good guy, but this is pretty much how I think it would go. I might be persuaded otherwise with a good argument, though. Oh, and cool 'What if' I think it is a really interesting thought. I don't want to say that your opinion is wrong, but I don't agree with it.

Morgana had already a conflicted relationship with Uther... but she loved her friends: Merlin, Arthur and Gwen.

I think the main cause that made her turn evil is MERLIN'S POISONING. She trusted Merlin and thus, she felt betrayed by him.

In my head canon, Morgause had a specific pattern in her mind. She volountarily left Merlin awake... she knew he would have understood the truth and he would have tried to kill Morgan.

I don't think that Morgana would have turned evil, because she only hates  Uther. Have you ever seen the episode "To kill the king"? In that episode, Morgana tried to revengre all Uther's victims, but at the end she looked back, because she was not evil in that moment.

I also think that Morgause used brainwashing to made her turn evil, because this explains her COMPLETE personality change.

This is just my thought, but I'm glad to read the other opinions.
