From the writers' perspective, I very much doubt they'll kill Morgana off before the very end of the series. She's become a big part of the show, and despite her evilness many people are too fond of her (or are too fond of Katie McGrath) to want her getting killed off. I, personally, would probably still watch the show if she died, but I reckon I wouldn''t enjoy it as much as I do now.

Another reason why I think she cannot die, is because Merlin needs a nemesis who is his equal. We haven't seen Mordred using magic since his return, but I don't think he is (or ever will be) as powerful as Merlin or Morgana. He's got a different part in the story: he's the one who will kill Arthur in one way or another, whilst Morgana is the one who brings balance to Merlin's Love (Darkness to your Light, Hatred to your love, Yin&Yang, etc. :P)

I would personally love to see some form of redemption from Morgana's part. Not something that will happen in one episode, but something that will be stretched out over a couple of episodes (or perhaps an entire season). E.g. (now I'm just speculating/being whishful) she and Mordred teaming up again, Mordred making some very strange decisions she feels bad about, she and Mordred splitting up again, Morgana wandering around for a while and thinking everything over, Morgana eventually realising that she's been wrong in some ways, etc.

Of course, this is all written from the POV of a diehard Morgana-fan, so I would understand if you don't agree with me :)
