It'd never use "your" instead of "you're", but I remember being taught
that "it's" was the possessive.

Wonder if the English teacher in question was related to Brent Spiner? :P

I can't see the connection. Please hint!

Brent Spiner is the actor who plays Lt. Commander Data in Star Trek
(Next Generation).

He's an android, and he NEVER uses contractions.

I knew who he is, but I was trying to see a connection with a
'possessive' "it's". All understood now!
