yea he was. before he was sent to hell he was actually an angel in heaven, one of the greatest and most beautiful. then i think he betrayed God and so God banished him to the underworld or Hell in christian form. (Underworld is a Greek mythology term and hell is the term used by Christians and some other religions today) and He was sent there for eternity. he now is the god of the damned souls (people cannot make it to heaven)
Most Greeks were afraid of Hades, afraid of attracting his attention and thus the attention of death, but they definitely respected him.
He ruled the Underworld and was for this both respected and feared. While there are myths about him and his actions, they do not take place from his perspective.
He was respected as the god of the Underworld and feared as a god of the Furies and vengeance taken by those who are evil while living or after death.
Sisyphus with his cleaver tongue was imagined to be favored by Hades who, even after trapping the death god Thanatos, had let him go back to the surface as his wife had refused him his death rites - by his own request. When he did die, Sisyphus was then made to roll a boulder up a steep hill over and over unending. Orpheus was favored by Hades, who would have allowed him to take Eurydice back to the upper world; if Orpheus had only not looked back. Heracles was assuredly favored by Hades in ancient Greek mythology. These are the heroes that Hades is associated with having his favor, however it is the interpretation of the person who might determine who Hades respected or admired.
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades divided the world between them, and this is what Hades got.

The Ancient Greeks prayed to Hades because they believed that if he saw that they worshipped him, he would pay them great respect when they died and their souls traveled to the Underworld.
He is respected as a deity of the Underworld. As to his own personality, he is said to be greedy for the dead that are his due, but likely it is just in his nature as a god of balance between life and death that he is thought so; he is gloomy and grim as his Realm, and his duty is endless - so in Greek myth he is one to be respected, not respectful.
