Ok, this theory may sound crazy. But maybe Amon's existence has a connection to why Korra is unable to airbend. So the avatar is the "bridge" that connects the spirit world with the real world, so maybe when Aang died, his spirit was able to move on to the spirit world but his body, despite being dead, probably had a little bit of life left in it and a evil spirit who strongly hates benders took the chance to control the body since Aang's spirit had moved on. So with the spirit possessing Aang's body, he gain the ability to take away bending abilities like Aang did when his body and spirit were one. Along with the airbender's body natural agility, "Amon" came into being. And the effect this has on Korra unable to airbend despite her learning some of the techniques maybe because of the body of the last avatar (Aang's body) still alive due to the evil spirit possessing it and keeping it alive. And, in order to keep Aang's face concealed, Amon has the mask to cover it.
