I think some of you don't fully understand how genes work, you know that traits can skip several generations. So yes while Katara might have been the only water bender in a direct lineage of non benders it doesn't mean that somewhere in her family tree there wasn't a water bender before. Take into account that the nations before Republic city were very isolated, so you had a greater degree of intermixing which increases the likelyhood that she had an aunt or uncle that could water bend.
