Depends on the position, but normally, it's prophylaxis against Bg5 or Ng5, while also providing a getaway square for the king.
What is with the move H6?
Sort:
Ok but if the opponent jus plays it randommly

If an opponent just plays it randomly, then it is a random move, otherwise it is as HudsonBassett said.

Harry the H Pawn. Made famous by GM Simon Williams. If you play H6 you will never lose a game
Yeah that was what i was thiniking but has it ever happend that the h6 move has been played in a
"good" way. maybe a way to spark a winning attack

Its just a waiting move, defense against back rank mate, and prevention of bg5 or ng5
You move a pawn to h6 to not get back-rank mated.
Every move you play should be the best one. Don't play h6 (h3) if it's not the best one. That in essence is it. As MelvinGarvey already pointed out, as an opening move, h6 (h3) in 99% cases is a bad move, plus it makes your castle vulnerable.

Yes.
The sooner you take it seriously and stick to it the sooner you get on the track to become a better player.
