Anon #0 and Equalist, you both do what 90% of the people on this website don't do: Look at the show from a Writer's POV. Do you guys study film or story writing by any chance? Every story/ TV show/ Movie has similar elements that develop the main story arc. For example, the main character must have a foil and an antagonist, or the conflict of a story is usually a struggle between two opposing factors, (good vs  evil, love vs hate/indifference, true identity vs. Peer pressure). All these things give a show BALANCE. I think you have a great idea and it actually fits in with the story arc. Unlike most people who just spew out random speculation that is contradictory and makes little to no sense.

Only thing is, your reasoning might be a little advance for a Nickelodeon show meant for a younger age group and the producers might make it simpler than that. I could be wrong though... Amon is already a sociopathic idealist with a twisted view of right and wrong. He's also a classic villian since he had a rough childhood that made him this way. The line between good and evil is also a little blurred since it has been revealed that most nonbenders in Republic City are of lower class and are oppressed by benders. Already a complicated story line.
