shouldn't the に not be in kanji? Also, if there are going to be furigana, shouldn't they be used for 難い?

に should be fixed, as well as the rest of the phrase. Kanji should come in later :)

There's an identical grammar point here: http://new.renshuu.org/index.php?page=grammar/individual&id=360
Maybe merge them together?

in the 'meaning' box, the examples don't include the 'not' part - shouldn't it be 'it's *not* hard to imagine, it's *not* hard to be surprised at..'?

...sorry I'm being picky here but now it's got a double negative and no negative - "it's not not hard to imagine, it's hard to be surprised at..
" ^.^;;
