I think that DD was actively maintaining the spell that was binding Harry, so that upon his death, Harry was freed. However, if every wizard's spells ended upon his/her death, there would be absolute chaos in the wizarding world. I think that there are all kinds of spells, some of which need to be held by force of will, such as the binding spell, and others, which, once they are cast just remain until the wizard or somebody else gives the counter spell.
