My theory?

Amon was one of the last energy benders, previously thought to be an extinct race, and his "parents" were protecting him. However, some firebenders (perhaps descendents of Azula?) discovered this new power ad, wanting it for themselves, attacked the family guarding him.

Not the most likely of theories, but still a possibility.
