Depends on the topic of the site and the word in the tag. Having a site about industrial washers with a <H1>Britney Spears</H1> tag is not going to help.

May hurt your rankings if it is too well aligned with the page title and anchor text. If templating issues cause too much duplication in a large section of a website it may also lead to reduced crawling.

Not as important as it once was as a ranking factor, but still necessary on a well optimized page and very useful for organizing page content.

Keywords H tags in and of themselves don't seem to really matter as my tests have shown that positions don't seem to change whether the headline is wrapped in an H tag or not.
