“Poe Dameron knew Kylo Ren as a child, hence why he refused to be terrified by him in their encounters” is honestly one of the most fascinating subtexts of that movie.

At first, you just think Poe is being snarky and posturing because “HE’S THE COOLEST PILOT IN THE GALAXY AND IT’S HOLLYWOOD MOVIE RULES! YOU CAN’T BACK DOWN FROM THE VILLAIN!”

You watch their scenes again, though: Poe is clearly bemused by Kylo and what he’s become. He’s seen behind that mask.

He’s still scared, obviously. But he seems to know, for a fact, he’s not quite dealing with a monster here. Because he knew him before.

I think the most Slytheriny Slytherin there ever was was Slughorn. He was so freaking ambitious, but he wasn’t a particularly great wizard himself. So he cultivated a little following of great wizards to do all the work for him. He was never evil or mean or cruel like a dark wizard though. He got all this sway in powerful places because he was nice to, encouraged, and manipulated powerful wizards when they were young. And then he literally never had to do anything for the rest of his life. All these great wizards just gave him free stuff and listened to his opinions on politics and business because he had been their mentor. If anyone was being a Slytherin the right way, it was this guy.
