Katara's parents were both nonbenders; Katara's mom took the place of Katara for being the "last waterbender of the southern water tribe" (which was really Katara), so we can assume she wasn't a bender. We know that Katara and Sokka's dad wasn't a bender as we have seen, and yet Katara was. In any case, bending could be a heterogenous dominant-recessive kind of thing, so maybe they couldn't bend but were nonbenders.... so who knows?
