Your idea seems realy good, though I have to agree with a lot of people that that would just be repeating a couple of huge themes and scenes in Avatar: The Last Airbender. As such I don't think we will be seeing a loss of bending for Korra.

As for what the other person said...just because her bending is taken away does not mean she is usless or unable to do anything. Suki, Sokka, Mai, Tai Li, and even Zuko as the Blue Spirit are proof. She also could get rescued before she is arrested, but after her bending is taken away, so that point is invald.

On the other hand, I think it is possible that he is taking away people's bending for real as well. But people learned to bend the elements before there were any benders, and people with there bending taken away can learn to do so again. My "fangirl" hope, being unlikely and a silly plot line, is that Iroh was born a non-bender, was sent to the Dragons to learn bending, so when Amon tries to take his bending he just remebers what the Dragons, the original Firebenders, taught him and waits for an opertunity for a good shot at Amon and than takes him out. And than he teaches, in season 2, Korra how to give people bending, and the conflict is weather people should be taught to bend, when non-benders could be just as good as benders.

But your theory is 100% better, except that I very much don't think her bending will be lost. More likely giving people back there bending will be a big thing in the next season, but not for her, the main character.
