I have a theory (JUST a theory though!), that Amon is Azula’s son: After her defeat Aang took her bending away like he did with Ozai, leaving her even more bitter and twisted, with an insatiable need for revenge. However, although her bending had been taken away her brilliant mind still lay hidden beneath the madness. And so, after a few years of convincing everyone around her that she was now sane and safe, the security precautions once taken around her were loosened, and she was given some freedom in order to help her recover even more. This lapse in security allowed her to slip away, be it silently or through use of violence is something we may never find out (we all saw how deadly she was to Aang & Co. during the day of Black Sun!).

Thus she made it away safe, meeting some guy along the way and getting pregnant with Amon shortly thereafter. I theorise that she would have raised Amon the same way Zira raised Kovu in ‘The Lion King 2’; filling him with hate, anger, and a need for some kind of screwed-up justice for his mother, by telling him stories that would turn him against benders, especially the Avatar.

He seems to be good at recruiting followers for his cause, just like Azula was a good military leader and an inspiration for the people who fought for her (like the Dai lee).

I guess we’ll see soon enough, though I’m probably weeeeeeell off-base here with my theory, it’s still fun to speculate.
