Below I posted my theory that Amon is Bumi, that he inherited energybending from Aang and resistance to bloodbending from Katara. He's originally thought to be a nonbender.

Episode 9 showed us two interesting things about Amon during the scene Korra breaks out of the log cabin.

1. When Korra fires ice shards at him, he jumps out of the snow with what looks like some type of airbender move. That's what I thought when I first saw it anyway.

2. That low crouch run towards Korra, reminiscient of Ty Lee and Mai.

If Bumi had no abilities, I can imagine him training with Aang to a certain extent, but also being sent off to study how to fight with Ty Lee and the Kyoshi warriors. I can also see a flashback to Azula escaping and killing Ty Lee and her husband (whom Bumi may have thought of like "parents" because of how they took care of him and mentored him).

And perhaps when he tries to take it back to Aang to have her arrested, political issues arise that don't allow Aang to prosecute her for the crime (maybe something between Zuko and Aang). In a nutshell, perhaps Bumi / Amon then develops this vision that all evil and corruption comes from benders and thus the seeds are laid for him to grow the Equalist movement.
