Hmmm his death could be liken to that of Jesus Christ, it has a redeemable effect.
He has washed away the Kingdom of Danemark of all the scum and leaves behing hope through Horatio

I'm not entirely comfortable with the word "powerful" here...I'm not sure what you intend by it.
Hamlet has tremendous POWER throughout the play. The difference in Act V is that he achieves a level of calmness with regard to the possibility of his own demise ("If it be not now..." etc.), and, when confronted with the reality of Claudius' villainous plot against him, he acts impulsively and decisively...something we hadn't seen from him before.
Fortinbras' last words suggest that Hamlet, in death as in life, was a very influential being.
