The "O" is just a suffix that indicates politeness and respect.
But I think the reason why some words are always used with an o (like ocha) regardless whether you are talking polite or just with friends, is just that it got so common with some words. I think that, for Japanese, it's almost as if tee mean "ocha" and not "cha" and the original meaning of the "o" got lost (even though they are all aware of what it stands for).

Not sure whether it's gets understandable what I mean....

I thought about being its own thing because a sensei talked about how "onaka" has "o" in it but it's not like we are saying "Oh honorable stomach" or refering to the stomach as not our own. It was really odd in a literal sense but interesting.

I don't know. I can't ask Happy Cloud sensei right now. -shrugs- Also, Happy Cloud is basically what his name boils down to by the kanji.

Depends on calling memorizing hard. Kanji is its own difficulty level.
