Morgana is a Pendragon, it was stated that Uther's father went bonkers. Uther lost his marbles as well so maybe it was inevitable that Morgana turned out as he did. Still fathers shouldn't smack their daughters around or chain them to dungeon walls just for not agreeing with their views. There was also the very real possibility that Uther would have executed his own child simply for being born with magic, he definately didn't shy away from murdering women & children. Uther may not be entirely responsible for what his daughter became, but he may just have sent an already fragile woman over the deep end him and Merlin.
