Gwen did what she had to do, Sefa had acted as a traitor, however foolish she might have been, and gave information to an enemy of Camelot. She did commit treason, and the punishment for that is death. And she still managed to show her softer side when going about it.

The problem with Morgana when she was betraying them was Uther and Arthur were blinded by love, they saw the same girl she had been, they didnt know she had become angry, bitter, vengeful and twisted into Morgause's weapon. Merlin and the others knew but as she was the princess, they couldnt move against her until she showed her true colours, and by then it was too late.

Though Agravaine did annoy me. Arthur was once more blinded by love, and because of his father being the state he was, and then dying, it made it all the worse, he didnt feel he was ready to be on his own so latched onto the closest remaining thing he had to a parent. Problem was he was working for Morgana. And we know Arthur is stubborn, and because of the way he was raised, he will always believe his uncle over Merlin, being a noble, even if he does trust Merlin above anyone else.

And also, the traitor within the walls comment. Considering what Merlin is, and who Arthur is and who he was raised by, doesnt that mean from a certain point of view that Merlin is technically a traitor within the walls? Arthur, if and when he finds out, especially if he finds out Merlin unintentionally killed his father, will still see Merlin as having betrayed him, and in some ways I think he will find that a worse betrayal than Morgana or Agravaine.
