Hell, so I recently finished a hapatra EDH deck. I am looking for ways to protect her from harm while allowing her to attack without being blocked.

So far I cam up with Rogue's Passage, Whispersilk Cloak and Prowler's Helm. Anyone else got any other cards that fit this description?

I am also trying to think of a way to use Darkest Hour with some permanent protection from black. But I have no cards to cast that protection, nor do i know nay...

Glaring Spotlight is a one-use card, but also gives you the bonus of allowing you to hit your opponents' hexproof things. If you're looking for just protecting Hapatra, Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves both work well, as does Aspect of Mongoose.

Teufell,
A quick pile-on to Pieguy396's comment: Be careful with your timing on Lightning Greaves and Aspect of Mongoose (and Whispersilk Cloak too), as you can't target or Equip Hapatra either, once they're on her.

A few other options:

Draw well!

Shizo, Death's Storehouse is solid as long as there aren't to many black or artifact creatures around.

I do have a list of cards that can protect your commander (MagicalHacker - List of All Protecting Cards), but as for cards that make her unblockable, cards in her colors that can do that (including previously mentioned cards here) are as follows:

I think those are the best options for making Hapatra unblockable.
