No, all hexproof means is that the specified permanent (or player, in this case) can't be targeted by your opponents. Auras only target what they attach to when they're spells on the stack, so you'd have to give yourself hexproof BEFORE the aura entered the battlefield in order for hexproof to have any effect.
Maybe you're confusing hexproof with protection, which WOULD make an aura/curse go to the graveyard since one of protection's effects is "this can't be enchanted/equipped". Unfortunately, the only card currently printed that gives protection to YOU (in order to remove a curse or other "Enchant Player" aura) is Runed Halo. And that probably won't change any time soon, since giving yourself protection from a color or protection from a specific card type would in most cases be way too powerful.

I am not impressed by defensive cards like this. They either do nothing or are quite powerful. It is annoying to have this stuck in your hand, or to have a handful of cards nullified by this when many of your other decks have only a few dead draws apiece to it. The timing for such a card is quite tricky too. You will either play it too early and get overwhelmed, or too late to stop an important spell.
I have put Spirit of the Hearth in many decks, and most of the time I am annoyed that I didn't put a much more powerful angel in that costs the same (or a purity). Once, it completely annihilated an opponent, and it was a very unsatisfying victory. The idea of playing only the most frustrating half of a spirit of the hearth seems laughable.

I read the first effect: "meh..."
Read the second effect: "Son of a ...!"
I guess Wizards just loves to shut down clever win-conditions.

You may not be a target, but can be chosen.
