Absolutely. You can love a person to bits and still dislike them a lot. It's a human experience. But do no harm.

Yes, sometimes I loathed my dad more then loved them especially in the teen years, I remember feeling like my father was trying to hold me back being over protective and no fun and doesn't want me to go anywhere or do anything

It is totally normal; depends on the level of dislike we wouldn't want you hating your father or mother. It is okay because parents can get very annoying at times; also very demanding. What you need to do is find a way to deal with it and also if you can talk to your dad about what you dislike about him or even to a family member that can help you.

It's normal to not like somebody but maybe it might be good to figure out why you feel this way and see if you can repair the relationship ? Was it something he did that earned your dislike? Is it possible to forgive him and move on? A dad is a really important figure in our lives and it might help to really have him there to be able to lean on if you ever need it.

Yes, it's normal to dislike anyone you wish. Even a stranger you just walked past by. Although it's normal to dislike your dad, if he deserves, you should respect him.
