I absolutely agree with Morganaforever. I think that by the events in "The Fires of Idirsholas" Morgana was on the very brink of changing her loyalties. She had decided to completely turn her back on Uther in the previous episode with the alliance with Alvarr. The moment in which she told Uther that he would have gone to hell is very important. It's a completely different confrontation from the one, for example, in 3X13. Here it seems she really believes what she's saying; although a bit naive, you can really understand her, and you feel she's the good guy (which you really don't think when she tells Uther "you cannot begin to know how much I hate you"). I personally beieve there are two main factors that have decreed Morgana's aptitude: the first one was her loneliness and her fear for magic (which you have already described perfectly) and then the fact she had been refused as a daughter. As for the first point, I'd like just to remind you of the episode "The Witchfinder". Here we can really see how Morgana is afraid that Uther could actually have her burnt at the stake; she does believe that Aredian will indicate her as the witch within Camelot and she's alone, while Merlin and Gaius have each other's support.
