I was thinking almost the same thing as well. Amon could possibly another Avatar.

Here's my explanation: They say that a new Avatar is born when an Avatar dies right?

Well, if you guys can recall Aang actually dying when he got struck by Azula's lightning, Aang actually did die from it. He wasn't knocked out, he died. but thanks to Katara and that water she used on him, she brought him back to life. So what I was thinking, maybe when Aang died, that's when the new Avatar was born or chosen. but when Aang was revived, Aang remained the Avatar, and it is possible that Amon did not gain any of the bending skills. Then when Aang actually DIE DIES, that's when Korra becomes the next Avatar. I thought it made sense because of the age difference. Aang(1st generation), Amon (2nd generation), Korra (3rd generation). I'm still not sure though because Amon did say that his father was killed by a firebender, and we don't know how Aang died because they did not specifically say it was due to "old age".
