 I don't usually Sort famous people.

But it just struck me that Dolly Parton seems like the ultimate Slytherpuff, and I think that really confuses people about her (mostly people only willing to see one or the other). (Note to any fans: I’m a Dolly Parton fan myself, and a Hufflepuff, and I don’t see Slytherin as meaning…

I agree. She’s so ambitious but she has so much love for everyone and she’s so generous.

Yes exactly and the love and generosity and sentimentality aren’t just part of her image, they’re quite real, to the point that sometimes they look downright sappy to people.  Like I’ve seen those traits before in other people who don’t have the Slytherin side and they look exactly the same.  There’s a genuineness to them that can’t be faked.  But she’s also a hard-as-nails businesswoman when she wants to be, and she gets what she wants, in terms of ambition, and has for a long time.  And these two sides coexist in one person without even really contradicting each other.  And that’s very Slytherpuff.
