Bumi may not be Amon, but he could be a follower of Amon. Let me explain, we know that Bumi is not a bender from confirmed sources. That's strange because it was said that since airbenders are very spiritual people, there is a greater chance of their children being benders because of that. I personally think that the creators are going to have some sort of significance to him being a non-bender because it seems weird to say that he is a non-bender and then he has no reason to even be in the story. Why can't he be a waterbender? If he was an airbender then Korra would go to Bumi for airbending help rather than Tenzin, but does he really have to be a non-bender? He could be part of the Equalists because he truly believes in their movement. Not that Bumi was jealous or that he hates Aang for some sort of reason but maybe he learned about the war from Aang, made a conclusion that benders caused the war (which technically they did), discovered Amon's movement, and join Amon's movement. There could be some significance to him being a non-bender such as the Equalist movement and he could push the plot forward in some way because he is part of the movement and believes in what they are doing and he is not jealous or POed because he didn't get powers like his brothers or sisters.
