Copy and paste:

"Yeah, the fact that he is in the Avatar's family makes it extremely unlikely that Bumi is Amon. Aang and Katara were good and peaceful people. Surely that rubbed off on him. Surely they taught him the values of the harmony of the world. His non bender Uncle Sokka had a very prominent position in society, so it isn't like only the benders he knew were privileged. Why would Bumi believe he or any other non bender couldn't achieve any different?

I don't understand why people think jealousy and envy alone would drive characters like Bumi or Asami to such extremes. To most sane people, jealousy may effect them but it won't rule them. It would make much more sense that Amon's views were caused by traumatic event(s), rather than then just being jealous. Especially because Aang and Katara would teach their kids very strong core values, and their strong character would be passed on to the next generation at the very least.

And what I wrote so far, is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much going against these "Bumi is Amon" theories that it would take a miracle and half to make it even plausible again. A miracle and a half, that we probably don't have time for in the 3 episodes remaining for season one. Amon isn't in season two, so the 3 remaining episodes are it. Of course there is still even more to debunking it, but I'll just let this stuff sink in."
