What changed? The conditions were the same both in the Forest, when
Harry went to die willingly and in the Great Hall. In both cases Harry
was the Master of the EW and V the possessor. So why the dramatic
difference?
The snake wasn't dead yet - Voldemort couldn't die.

But he had a bunch of horcruxes back in PS/SS and he still died for real.
I think the house collapse was what killed his body.

Voldemort didn't die in PS/SS. I think that was a major point of the
whole series of books. His Horcruxes kept his soul bound to the earth.
Had he truly died - the story was over - as JKR has repeatedly said -
death is final - you cannot return.

Okay, better phrasing: back in PS/SS Voldemort's body died, possibly
as a result of being crushed when the house collapsed. Otherwise
his soul might not have been torn from his body to become VapourMort
while still living in a magical way because it was bound to the
earth by horcruxes (and not a ghost).
