[DC] Does a Lantern ring amplify someone's emotions?

Was Larfleeze always that greedy? If he had his ring removed (somehow), would he still be as greedy as he was with the ring?

It depends on the individual.  Larfleeze was already incredibly greedy, which was how he ended up with the Orange Lantern in the first place.  

Let's compare the Red Lanterns to the Yellow Lanterns.  Atrocitus specifically recruits people who are filled with rage but don't know how to control it, so in his corps he's pretty much the only individual that qualifies as sentient.

Now Sinestro, on the other hand, specifically recruits people who have the ability to cause great fear for his Yellow Lantern Corps.  Because he want's people who understand fear and know how to utilize it rather than people who'd be used by it.
