Are you putting the uC to sleep while doing the ADC? That can help improve the S/N ratio.
I'm not so keen on the LED reference idea, as the Vf of the LED will change as a function of temperature and current. If you really want a precision reference, then get one.
0.2°C fluctuations is not bad at all for the cost of your system. If you want real accuracy, it'll cost you a good bit more than what you've paid already.
