I thought of this too.  In the RW, in legends, mythology, etc., the way to break a spell is to kill the spell caster.  I think that any spell cast by DD would now be gone.  I am sure this includes the extra protection that he put on the school (of course all the old protections are still in place).  Unless he had someone such as Professor McG do the spells with him, they're gone.  

As you stated, the Fidelius Charm is now defunct.  The Order is going to need another secret keeper ASAP!  Sirius' father made the house unplottable (OOtP p115 AmEd.) so it is still protected by that.  However, Snape knows where it is and I'm sure any member of the extended Black family would also know.  So the Order really needs to find a new secret keeper!

I think it would be best if they used Harry as secret keeper for two reasons; 1. It's his house now and 2. If Harry dies the Order is in deep trouble anyway.  IF that prophecy is to be believed, then Harry is the only one who can kill LV.  Of course, we have heard now from DD that the only reason the prophecy is important is because it has been acted upon.
