It looks like Lion is making my and others run 15 degrees warmer. I was thinking about going back to SL or doing a clean install of Lion, but I am just going to give up. I have Apple care. If my 2011 MBP 13 melts, then they will fix it. It would be nice if Apple acknowledges the problem and institutes a fix. I just keep moving it on my lap to a less heated area!!!
 
I wouldn't worry about it. If it causes a problem it should be covered under AppleCare, but I doubt it will cause a problem.
 
I haven't seen any temperature increase in fact if anything it's slightly lower.
 
Temp increase

There are multiple reports of temp increase, including mine. Do a Google.

When I installed Lion over Snow Leopard my MacBook Pro ran hotter. A clean install fixed the issue.
