I have an OSQA in which the first user is a friend of mine, even though I am the administrator.

I am creating a superuser account. What are the potential snags of having the true administrator not be user id #1 ?

Are there any things hardcoded about user #1 ?

What would happen if I remove superuser access from user #1 ?

User number 1 is the only one that can remove super user privileges, and nobody can remove those privileges from user 1. Basically it acts as the site owner. In the future we want to allow that to change, possibly when we introduce some form of more granular permissions.
