First - I agree.

Second - I also had the thought that Wan Shi Tong may somehow be related, but there are plenty of other spirits who exist. And if Amon was a spirit, he would not need any spirits to help him. But if you think about it, Wan Shi Tong doesn't make sense because he was a waterbender. If you remember, he claimed he even knew Foggy Swamp style. I believe he probably appreciated waterbending for the healing because he certainly had this thing against knowledge used for war/battle/fighting/etc. Either way, he was clearly a proponent of waterbending, so it makes no sense that he would want to eliminate all bending when he himself was a waterbender.

The truth is Amon is probably a human. He may have had contact with spirits of some sort. But it is still unlikely Amon himself is a spirit. That is still a plausible theory as there is nothing to disprove it. It also appears to be quite popular. But I can't see it as very likely. And even if he was, he would probably be a spirit we do not yet know of as none of the known ones really fit.

Now as to how he could resist bloodbending, I did write a blog with that as part of my theory here. You are more than welcome to check it out if you like, and see that he doesn't have to be super human or even a bender to pull it off.
