I think that from what we know so far, Amon being a waterbender makes sense. The visions that Korra had involving Yakone happened during instances with both Tarrlok and Amon. I think that Amon being a waterbender answers how he resisted Tarrlok's bloodbending as well. And I think that it is possible that Amon uses an advanced technique of bloodbending/chi-blocking to take a person's bending away.

Also, in the Season Finale premiere, it shows Mako and Korra being bloodbent by Amon (at least that's what it looks like) as Korra has her bending taken away.

Any thoughts?

I also think that Amon cannot take a person's bending away permanently, only that no one understands how to undo what he does to block the chi-paths in a person. If taking a person's bending away with bloodbending/chi-blocking is how Amon does it, it makes sense for Korra to be the person to restore people's bending (she would be able to use bloodbending to restore people's bending if this is the case). This makes sense not only from a plot-line perspective, but also from a literary perspective. The Avatar is the person who restores balance ot the world, so i think this could make sense. Again, this is a farfetched idea.
