Yes, you are right, it sounds like Harry still can feel LV's 
emotions. I just think that it's not the same connection as before. 
Let's see how "the connection" is described the very last time Harry 
experienced it in "The Elder Wand": Harry's scar begins to "throb and 
pulse" as he feels LV's rage, he is even forced to bite his fist to 
stop from screaming. Then he finds himself in LV/s head again and 
looks through his eyes.

Nothing like this happens in the last confrontation. Harry feels the 
curse "building inside the wand", but in the Shrieking Shack he 
felt "Voldemort's impatience in his burning scar", or the "sense of 
fury building inside Voldemort".

I think that Harry is not linked directly to LV's mind and he can't 
get inside LV's head to look through his eyes anymore, but he still 
can "feel" LV's emotions, because he knows him very intimately, after 
all :-).
