Beg pardon for the second post, I forgot to mention another part of the theory. This portion deals with the sort of outcome such a theory may result in if proven true.

Given that it's very unlikely Amon will be killed, how would he be dealt with if any of the other theories are proven true? If my wild theory proves true, it could greatly weaken Amon's influence over the non-benders. They would feel lied to. Deceived and betrayed - or so I imagine. His position would be compromised. Should such a thing happen, it would give Korra the opportunity to appeal to the non-benders and benders alike.

For the non-benders, Korra could convince them that a brutal revolution isn't the way to gain equality. For the benders, she could use Amon as a perfect example not only of how benders have been abusing their powers but of how such an abuse of power can result in someone like Amon emerging. It would be a very poignant message.

If Amon does prove to be a bender who simply abandoned his gift due to the tramatic event in his youth, then he would be a sort of parallel with Mako and Bolin, two benders whose parents were also killed by a firebender. Unlike Amon, though, Mako and Bolin did not develop an all consuming hatred for benders.

There, that's all of my wild and unlikely theory. :-D
