What is the difference between oxycodone and hydrocodone? I know there is an extra OH group that comes off of oxycodone, but why does this make it a stronger opiate?

AFAIK its largely because the -OH group is a large, polar zit on hydrocodone's face, and won't pass the BBB so easily as will oxy, as well due to being less lipophillic than the ox.

No, the OH group is on oxycodone.
