No. What happened to Morgana is her own fault and her own responsibility. She could have chosen to do good with her magic but she didn't and she was way too blinded by her hatred for Uther. Also, she had so many influences in her life that made her turn evil like her half sister (despite the magic part), so you never know what would've happened. Merlin was under NO obligation to tell anybody his magic. Why? Because it's his magic and it's no one else's business who he chooses to tell. Remember, back then, telling someone you have magic is basically suicide since it is punishable by death. And remember when Morgana tried to kill Uther then in the last second changed her mind and killed the guy that she practically begged to help her kill Uther with? Even before she turned evil, so many people suffered because of her actions and she didn't even think twice about it in the first two seasons.

Also remember that in the original legend, Morgan was supposed to be the villain so when they added a character named "Morgana", she was always going to be a villain later on. But then again, Arthur doesn't need to pull a sword out of a stone in this version.. so..
