Until fairly recently, I'd have said I think of a grandmother, a very homemakery type. I've always loved Henry and like its meaning but it took some time for me grow fonder of the feminine forms. Now, I feel enough warmth and sweetness from Henrietta that I can imagine it suiting a little girl, still with a very warm hearth, helping mama in the kitchen vibe. Someone mentioned Henny recently and I think I prefer that over Hetty / Hettie as a nickname. I also like Etta. Other ideas: Henna, Netta, Nita, Rita. Haven't really played with combos; will let that simmer.
