It would actually kind of undercut Amon's character if he just turned out to be a standard bender, even if he is a highly skilled one, since it really does make non-benders look lame. Amon being a non-bender, yet still being as dangerous as he is, is what makes him such an interesting villain. It demonstrates that non-benders can be every bit as skilled and dangerous than a bender. Make him a water bender and you make non-benders that much more lame. And stupid apparently since they all blindly follow someone who is the very thing they hate, making them all look pretty much like idiots.
