I can only think that if you accept the possibility that DD was dying anyways (due to his infected hand or the green goo) that his death should at the very least serve the Order, so he asks for Severus immediately and stalls Draco so that Severus will have solid 
credibility with DE's and Voldie by killing an already dying man; 
than one could conclude that DD froze Harry to stop him from 
interfering, as he knows Harry has a "saving people" problem.
