After watching the third episode I think that Amon's family was attacked by Zhao since he was a very cruel bender. Amon could of been very young when this happened (5/6 years old) and carried that grudge ever since. It is hard to believe, but possible. People in the Avatar universe live a long time, Avatar Kyoshi and the Guru is proof. For Amon talking to spirits...that is a bit out there, but it is possible. If Amon did talk to spirits and taught him Energybending it would have to be Wan Shi Tong from The Library. He was a very wise and a powerful spirit; claimed to be an all-knowing spirit being and most likely one of the only other characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender to know energybending. He had motive to turn against the avatar from when Aang and went against his wishes and helped Sokka discover a way to stop the Fire Nation. Even if Wan Shi Tong did not want his knowledge to be used for war, he could of gone against what he believed and thought that removing bending from the world would make it a better place.
