On topic.
I don't think you shuold be able ot see thestrals after watching the destruction of a horcrux - yes, it's a piece of a soul, but you are not witnessing the death of an entire complete person - that person is still alive. Yes, you're witnessing a death. But only the death of part of someone - you could just as easily argue the point as if someone had their limbs aputated - and you can't see thestrals for that either I imagine.
The person is still alive.
