This role actually seems pretty good although possibly underpowered. The biggest change that it would make would be to remove the notification if a player is sheltered. I think it should be similar to the Doctor where players only find out that they were protected if they were attacked. Right now, it would be easy for players to confirm themselves as Helper because they could shelter a random person and that person would know about it. Self-confirming Town roles tend to be frowned upon because the Town is supposed to be uninformed and members should have to either use scumreading or their night abilities to determine whether someone is evil.

What does "harmful" mean here? Is it just kills and douses?

No not douses but Arsonist igniting a Sheltered target would not kill them unless the Helper is ignited. If that complicates things then yes douses would fail as well alongside any attack apart from Veteran alert or indirect attacks from rampages.
