I agree with your reason that Aithusa breathed new life into Morgana to start a story line giving Morgana a chance at redemption. I'm a big fan of the Hero Archetype method of story telling. The classic approach would have all four heroes who started the call to adventure (Merlin, Morgana, Arthur, and Gwen) go through their ups and downs but end up as "Heroes" of a sort which included the anti-Hero. And, if that holds true then Morgana is following the Heroine's Journey and at her low point has adopted many of the characteristics of villains and for most is the villain for Merlin and Arthur. But, that can all change.

It doesn't necessarily mean Morgana will be "good" because she'll retain or gain any number of villainous tendencies to succeed in her goal but it will result in a transition from a villain to an anti-Hero and possibly a Hero by entering into a redemptive arc. It can be done within the context of this show and I've outlined the reasons on other boards. Basically, it means that Morgana must realize that gaining the throne of Camelot is an illusory goal and discover her true goal which as the Dorchaid said was to bring back the old religion. This goal is very compatible with the goal of returning Albion. And to embark on that goal can be done by either beginning a redemptive arc which would be the continuation of the Heroine's Journey.
