I think this is what you want. I assume you
are plotting undirected graph since you matrix is symmetric.
For undirected graph, you can replace Line with Arrow and
plot both a[[i,j]] and a[[j,i]] on an edge, placed so that
they do not clash.

The following code set font size to 20, plot node1, node2 ... on each
vertex,
plot the matrix entry value on each edge at the center, and color
the edges using entry values.

H = {{0, 2, 1}, {2, 0, 4}, {1, 4, 0}};

text = {node1, node2, node3};
x = GraphCoordinates[H];
max = Max[H];

GraphPlot[H, VertexCoordinates -> x, TextStyle -> {FontSize -> 20},
  VertexStyleFunction -> (Text[text[[#]], #] &),
  EdgeStyleFunction -> ({If[#1 > #2, {Hue[0.75*(1 - H[[#1, #2]]/max)],
              Line[{#1, #2}],
              Text[H[[#1, #2]], 0.5*(x[[#1]] + x[[#2]])]}, {}]} &)]

This make the nodes look a bit nicer

GraphPlot[H, VertexCoordinates -> x, TextStyle -> {FontSize -> 20},
  VertexStyleFunction -> ({White, Disk[#, 0.4], Black, Circle[#, 0.4],
          Text[text[[#]], #]} &),
  EdgeStyleFunction -> ({If[#1 > #2, {Hue[0.75*(1 - H[[#1, #2]]/max)],
              Line[{#1, #2}],
              Text[H[[#1, #2]], 0.5*(x[[#1]] + x[[#2]])]}, {}]} &)]
