Thanks for commenting! I think that Morgana is likely a couple months older than Merlin. Her noble upbringing, I think, would go a long way in making her think herself superior to Merlin, thus, why she refers to him as 'the boy,' despite their age being so close.

"So she wants in a way to get what was taken from her..."

That makes sense. I'm also of the opinion that Morgause brainwashed Morgana quite thoroughly. Series 2 Morgana was such a deep character, with her inner conflict and horror at what she thought she was becoming. Series three, she was still a good character, but she seemed like Morgause's good little robot puppet. Series 4, she borders on unhinged. I suppose sacrificing your sister to unleash a nightmarish plague will do that to you...
