*** More often than not, blue fire is also better controlled than orange fire. Compare the small blue flames of a bunsen burner to the the much larger flames of a campfire. Even if the bunsen burner is hotter, it's also reduced to that one little flicker that lacks a higher combination rage than the campfire. Same thing with Hades "hair". It's usually only on the top of his head when blue, but can spread all over his body when orange.

** I'm sure it has to do with the former, as well as the fact that he was a natural born god who was stripped of 99% of his divinity against his will. Regaining his divinity would only happen if he proved himself a "true hero", which likely did mean all the steps he took in training, fighting monsters, and in the end, making a self sacrificing act to rescue someone. Unless the other heroes really did all of that, they probably didn't gain godhood, but given all the liberties Disney is taking with the myths in this movie, I could be wrong.

** The lore behind that potion is up for the audience to decide, but as for why Hades never tried using it before is implied in the movie. Despite being a baby, Hercules has to drink every single drop of the potion to lose 100% of his godhood. If any of the adult gods started drinking it, they'd catch on to is affects really quickly, and unless Hades made a very subtle way of keeping his contribution to said plot underwraps, he'd get into even ''more'' hot water than he already is (given how much he hates having to run the underworld, he's always miserable enough).

* It’s understandable that the movie would want to avoid having Hercules born as a result of Zeus’s extramarital affair, hence why they couldn’t make Hera his enemy like in the myths. But couldn’t they have had Zeus sire him with Alcmene before he and Hera were married?
** The movie came out at the tail end of the so-called Disney Renaissance, and they were trying to put something together that would be family-friendly and appealing to general audiences. They could have tried to sugarcoat Hera’s feelings about Hercules and Zeus, but that still wouldn’t have had the basic, familiar appeal of the evil uncle wanting to usurp his brother’s power that Hades offered the film.

It's never expanded upon -- he just has it from somewhere, he's had it for who knows how long, and didn't try to use it on the film.other gods beforehand for some reason.
* Zeus explains that Hercules can be god again by becoming a "true hero" -- but we never find out ''why'', or how. Is it something to do with his last drop of godliness, or did heroes like Perseus and Jason ''also'' become gods when they died?

** Looking at it logically, considering the fact that “only gods can live on Mount Olympus”, and that Zeus and Hera never visited Hercules to inform him of his godly birthright, it’s easy to surmise that in the movie’s universe, gods and mortals aren’t supposed to intermingle outside of praying at temples, prophecies, oracles and the like. Just as mortals aren’t allowed to live on Olympus, there’s probably a rule saying that gods aren’t allowed to live amongst mortals.

** In real life, the ancient Greeks had their theory about where the entrance to the underworld was, which in the movie's universe would probably prove to be true. Barring that, Hercules might've just asked Zeus about how to get there.

** The entire concept of selling souls comes from Christian and not Greek mythology, and Hades is basically just treated as the devil here for the most part in general, so it's likely that the writers either didn't consider this or just assumed that, in their setting, only bad people go to the underworld (or at least are actively under Hades' domination) when they die.
