Suppose we are handed an algebra $A$ over a field $k$.  What should we look at if we want to determine whether $A$ can or cannot be equipped with structure maps to make it a Hopf algebra?

I guess in order to narrow it down a bit, I'll phrase it like this: what are some necessary conditions on an algebra for it to be a Hopf algebra?

Thoughts so far:

The first obvious condition is that $A$ must be augmented, i.e. there must be a nontrivial character $\varepsilon : A \to k$.  Since this is generally not that hard to determine if we are given the algebra in some fairly concrete way, let's suppose that $A$ is given to us with an augmentation map.

If $A$ is finite-dimensional, then $A$ must be a Frobenius algebra.  But not every finite-dimensional Frobenius algebra is a Hopf algebra, e.g. $\Lambda^\bullet(k^2)$ is not a Hopf algebra if the characteristic of $k$ is not 2.  And generally I am more interested in the infinite-dimensional case.

All I can come up with is this: the category of finite-dimensional $A$-modules must be a (left) rigid monoidal category.  But I don't know if that is a helpful observation: given a category with a forgetful functor to finite-dimensional vector spaces over some field, how can one prove that it can't be given the structure of a braided monoidal category?

And perhaps there are some homological invariants that one can look at?

To sum up, the question is:
### Question
Given a $k$-algebra $A$ and a nonzero character $\varepsilon : A \to k$, are there invariants we can look at in order to show that $A$ cannot be given the structure of a Hopf algebra?
