If you gently roast it, the bitterness goes away and the toasted "nut" tastes very much like a peanut. Here in the San Francisco Bay area we have Bay Trees, the source of the bay leaf used in seasoning. The fruit is identical in structure to the avocado. It is smaller with a very thin layer of yellow green flesh. . .much the likeness of the Pinkerton avocado. The original residents of the area, the Indians, harvested the Bay fruit and roasted it as a regular part of their diet.
Yes, but they don't taste very good. There are mildly unpleasant chemicals in the pit, but unless someone is allergic, it is unlikely that he would react because it would take eating a lot of them to become ill from the persin and other things in them. Birds can be affected, however, and a number of other animals could be as well. Use the provided link to the Wikipedia article on the avocado and the possibility of a toxic threat, and you can surf on over to see what's up.
Avocado pits are not poisonous to humans. The pits are often used to produce avocado oil and are blended and eaten by some raw food enthusiasts. However, avocado pits are poisonous to a large number of animals, including dogs and cats.

It is possible to roast an avocado seed but I would not recommend it. You can slice the nut up and place it in the oven on low heat for 5-10 minutes but even then the bitterness of the nut does not go away and keeping the nuts in the oven for any longer than 10-15 will unfortunately result in burnt nuts.
