Here are my two hypothesis:

Amon could be Bumi (Aang’s other son): 

• The Avatar series are exciting and dramatic. It would be very dramatic if Amon was somebody who had ties with someone from the old series.

• Bumi is a non-bender.

• Bumi might have been jealous of his siblings and parents.

• As children, Tenzin must’ve spent a lot of time with Aang, so he could learn air-bending. Kya probably spent a lot of time with Katara to learn water-bending. Bumi could have had some neglect issues.

• Sokka would have been Bumi’s uncle, and Sokka most likely married Suki, a Kyoshi Warrior. At the end of The Last Airbender, Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi Warriors and taught them Chi Blocking. Since Bumi might have been neglected as a child, he could have spent a lot of time with “Uncle Sokka” and “Aunt Suki”. Suki could have taught him Chi Blocking.

• It is debated whether bending is passed on, genetics/hereditary. So either Bumi obtained energy-bending from Aang, or Aang taught him energy bending.

• Tenzin is exactly fifty-one years old. He was born in 119 ASC and the show takes place during 170 ASC (ASC=start of 100 year war). We fans don’t know specifically how much older, but Bumi is older than Tenzin, and Kya is the oldest. Fifty-one isn’t really that old.

• How could you be the son of the Avatar/only Airbender/best Airbender of the generation and one of the greatest water benders, yet not be able to bend anything? Bumi was possibly bullied as a child. Especially by benders.

• It says that Bumi is a non-bender. The official Avatar definition of non-bending is not being able to bend the four elements. Energy is not one of the four elements.

Amon could be Aang:

• The unmasked leaked photo of Amon looks to be an older Aang. They have similar facial structures: e.g. cheek bones, beard. They both also have airbending tattoos.

• Amon has something covering the top of his hands. That could be hiding Aang’s airbending tattoos.

• People keep saying, “Amon can’t be Aang because Korra is alive, and she is the Avatar!” As far as we fans know, the only way there can be a new Avatar is if the old one dies. It could be possible that Aang took his own bending away, or he was deemed unfit by the spirits and had his Avatar powers (bending the four elements) taken away. Also the Lion Turtle said, “To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable. Or you will be corrupted, and destroyed..." Aang could have also possibly tried taking someone’s bending away, and was corrupted.
