I bet Amon is just a really good Bender who wants power, so he's feeding off the upset Non-Bending crowd, and somehow learned how to Energybend. Just because Aang was the only person known to have been able to Energybend doesn't mean that it's not an ability all benders could eventually learn (and therefore not exclusive to the Avatar). Considering he learned it from what was it...a Lion-Turtle, who knows. It's basically an unexplored art.
It was never Avatar exclusive. The Lion Turtle said it himself: Before there were benders of the elements, they bended the energy around themselves. It just so happens that Amon knows how to do it. Though I guess that means he has a ridiculously incorruptible spirit to take away people's bending, but incorruptible in the bad way :C But since he can take away Bending, it means that he himself is a bender, so ironically, the anti-bender uprising he is leading is being led by a bender. I find it weird that people did yell at him before- they know how Aang defeated Ozai and that it is called energy bending (and it seems noted in history), why aren't they casting Amon out for being a bender?
