I wonder if in the begining there were more than one Avatars. Just bear with me here but when Aang was trying to take a shortcut to mastering the avatar state (first episode in earth i think) Roku took Aang in spirit form and taught him about the avatar state. Roku said that if Aang died in the Avatar state it would break the reincarnation cycle and the Avatar would be no more. I'm wondering how he knew that because obviously it hasn't happend unless they either new it instinctually (in which Aang would already know that so... yea I dont think it was by instinct) or there were other Avatars that were killed off and the current Avatar is the only one left.

On another note it is said that only a fully realised Avatar can energybend (it was in one of the episodes that the commentary bubbles from the writers poped up I believe) and Aang could use energybending to take away Ozai's firebending. Could Aang (or any other energybender) use energybender use that ability to grant people the ability to bend. If so could he give people multiple bending abilities or possible create another Avatar.
