No, the writers want us to see it that way, either to refer to it again later and maybe change some opinions of the characters or because they have made it all much simpler and easier by turning everything and everyone into black & white in order to get rid of much too "complicated" and deeper storylines.

If it's the second reason, I'd find it odd because hey can't present the big differences to us for three years and then change it all of a sudden in season four.

Hating something doesn't make people equal or alike. It's their reasons, personality and actions that count. There is no one who could be compared to Morgana because there is no one who does the things she does. Merlin has something in common with Uther, too. He loves Arthur (in a brotherly way) and would do anything to protect him, like Uther did. Does it make him and Uther alike? Morgana and Merlin both have magic and both want to reach their goals at all costs but they are not alike. Gwen and Morgana both want(ed) to become Queen - are they alike? It's always important why someone does something and how that someone does it, the way they are acting.
