I don’t understand how Harry didn’t die after Voldemort did. If he was only alive bc his blood was alive in Voldemort

It’s not explained well. Essentially with the combined fact that there were two souls inside Harry for the spell to target (Harry and the Horcrux) the Elder Wand Voldermort was using being loyal to Harry, and the protection spell from Harry’s mom being applied to both Harry and Harry’s blood inside Voldemort.

Why would he die? His own wand wouldn’t kill him.

Think of the blood like a pseudo horcrux. Voldemort doesn’t die when all the horcruxes are destroyed. After Voldemort dies Harry is not tethered to life anymore, but he doesn’t need to be because he’s fine, there’s nothing killing him.

Voldemort didn’t die when all the horcruxes were destroyed bc THEY were destroyed, not him. Harry WAS killed and I guess you can argue “it was the horcrux killed, not Harry” but Dumbledore specifically said he was raising Harry to be a sacrifice for Harry to die to kill Voldemort. And said the reason Harry could come back to life was ONLY bc his blood was in Voldemort. So when Voldemort died all of Harry’s blood was dead

That’s what I meant by pseduo horcrux. The blood isn’t keeping him alive, just stopping him from staying dead. When Harry choses to return to the world of the living he is genuinely alive, not just kept alive by the blood inside moldy Voldy.
