Why is the element hydrogen considered a key part of any covalent bond it is in even though hydrogen is located in Group 1 on the periodic table?

Hydrogen is not considered a key part in any covalent bond. There are many covalent bonds that don't include hydrogen (C-O, N-O, N-C, etc.)
Though Hydrogen is in group 1 with metals that do not form covalent bonds, Hydrogen itself does form covalent bonds. Hydrogen is the oddball in the Periodic Table and appears in group 1 because of the fact that it has only 1 valence electron, like the other elements in that group.
