I don't think that Aura protects you from all damage, unless you can focus a large amount of it in one spot like Ren does. I mean Jaune got a bruise from when Cardin was beating up on him so his Aura probably lessened how bad it could have gotten, but not completely. Aura more dampens the amount of injury a person receives, like if you had a suit of armor made of bubble wrap; punches would still hurt, but not nearly as much. However it still wouldn't completely protect you from a strong stab with a sword. Like you said, the HP bar monitors Aura levels because once it is completely gone, then the person could be seriously injured because now they have no protection at all. At least with Aura, they are less likely to get hurt.
