Maybe. You must meet several tests:
1. She cannot be the "qualifying child" of another taxpayer.
2. Your relationship must not be illegal under local law. If there's an anti-cohabitation law on the books, even if it's not enforced, you cannot claim her as a dependent.
3. She must have lived with you ALL YEAR during 2006.
4. She must have had LESS than $3,300 in gross income for 2006.
5. You must have provided more than half of her support for 2006.
If you meet ALL of the above tests, you can claim her as a dependent. (You CANNOT file as Head of Household, however, based on her dependency status.)

You could claim your girlfriend as a dependent only if she lived with you the entire year, you provided over 50% of her support, and she didnt earn in excess of $3,300. Also, if she could be claimed by someone else like her parents, you would not be able to claim her.

Girlfriends are seen unrelated for tax purposes.

You can only claim someone as a dependent if you contributed more to them than they brought in financially speaking. For example, if they had $300 to live on, irregardless if it's from Medicare, Medicaid, or whatever, you would have had to contributed $301 in order for this person to be your dependent.

Yes you can. But you cannot claim the head of household filing status.

No. Only married people can claim each other. You could get into major trouble with the IRS.
