Answer

The dot, as Michael said, changes nothing in the pronunciation, but you'll find that after the definitive article ha the word always takes the dagesh (dot) (unless it is a guttural letter), it is just a grammatical rule.  Technically it should be pronounced stronger, but in practice this is often not done.

Answer

This dot change nothing.
