There are a few reasons why Amon can't be a lot of the people mentioned here. For instance.. The Avatar: Just no. That's illogical, and if Mike and Bryan threw a twist like that in there, I feel like they'd piss people off that way. Bumi: I've heard some really good arguments prior to this episode that had me speculating. However, He says that his "non-bender" father (and I believe, family?) got killed by a firebender. Well we know Aang didn't get killed by a firebender, and we know that the rest of Bumi's family is still alive and well. The only way I could see him being Bumi is if he lied for support. Jet, other primary characters from ATLA (aside from one, which I'll explain.) : This one simply would not work, it has been confirmed that Jet died through suggestive dialogue and his not returning for the FN raid in season 3. Even if he survived, he would be relatively old while Amon seems to be fairly young, at least young enough to showcase his agility. Other popular ones have been like Ty Lee's descendant and what not, and I'm just not seeing any significant evidence to suggest that. Now, the one exception to this that seems logical to me is the young farm boy from "Zuko Alone" that looked up to Zuko until he found out that Zuko was actually the prince. Think about it, his brother seemingly died at war, he hated firebenders, and his family was vulnerable and bendless. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that Legend of Korra is taking place 70 years later. That is a long time. So here we're faced with the elderly issue... I guess it's safe to say that no one from the original series is likely to be behind the mask. All I know is that Amon is one intimidating character, more so than Firelord Ozai (the faceless character of ATLA). It'll be interesting watching the progression of this!
