Hair found anywhere at the scene, not just on her body, can be tested for DNA. However, the location of the hair would go to the weight of the evidence in court.

The other person who sleeps on the couch could be tested and if it tested positive, it would be useless, but if it was not hair from the victim or the other person who slept on the couch, then it could be used. Like: What was that persons hair doing on your body if that person did not sleep on the couch. Simple process of elimination.

Yes it can, if the person who regularly sleeps on the couch submits a DNA sample to eliminate him as a possible suspect.

Evidence is evidence.
Its called gathering "collecting" data.
That data is sorted.
If body hair is found on a victim you can believe that person will be interviewed and investigated as deemed.
Most collected evidence is not "in" the victim but around the scene.

Investigators will use any type of hair samples for DNA no matter who they belong to or where they are found, in order to find a match.

Yes hair can be used for DNA. The forensics will swab every one who lives there so they can omit them and leave only the DNA not accounted for.

The hair can be used as evidence
but any defense attorney worth his salt will make it apparant that the hair could have come from anywhere
