Why does it get colder the further north you go?
This is only true for the Northern Hemisphere, in the Southern Hemisphere the further south you go it gets colder. The further from the Equator you are, the lower the sun will be in the sky at noon which means it's light has to pass through more ass thickness of Earth's atmosphere. This is why the temperatures near the North and South poles are generally colder than the areas around the equator.
What effect does an aphelion have in each hemisphere?
It doesn't, really, much. The effect of apsis is completely swamped by the effect of axial tilt. I believe that southern hemisphere summers tend to be hotter, and southern hemisphere winters colder, than corresponding latitudes in the northern hemisphere due to the date of apsis (early January). But I don't know for certain that this is true.

What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
