He could have done absolutely nothing the entire season and had the impact. He was a fan favorite from season one. If they killed off Dick in Season One before ANY development, His death still would've had an impact because everyone f*ing loves Dick Grayson. Kill off Aqualad under the same circumstances, the only people who'd react are the ones saying "You killed off the Random, Original Black Guy, RACIST"....no one would've cared for his character, but they would for Dick.

The Do, for Wally, due to Justice League. He's a big character in most casual fans minds. It's the same as John Stewart being a favorite despite having no involvement in the series.

People liked Wally, that carried over to Season Two, It's why people raged to the forums because He, Artemis, Aqualad, Red Arrow etc Hadn't appeared. Invasion is not an abosolute fresh slate that we can completely rewrite Fan Perceptions of characters with.

But, I do agree. Wally's Death, was pointless. There's very little that was offered by his death that the equivalent with him being alive wouldn't have offered. Nightwing dying, now we're talking. Show some kiddies morals about not keeping secrets from your friends, cause many lolz in the people who were growing tired of his uselessness the season, tug at some fans heartstrings majorly, fracture the Team's leadership structure quite effectively allowing for upturns, etc.
