Abstract: In this paper, we derive some criteria for the projectivity of a module coalgebra over a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. In particular, we show that any Hopf algebra over a field of characteristic zero is faithfully flat over its group-like subHopf algebra. Finally, we prove that if $B$ is a finite dimensional subHopf algebra of a Hopf algebra $A$, then $B$ is normal in $A$ if and only if $AB^+ = B^+A$. This improves a result by S. Montgomery (1993).
