The amount of celebration that is appropriate for a death exists on a sliding scale for me.
The death of a Kim Jong-il, an Osama Bin Laden, a Stalin, a Hitler, a Pol Pot are worth celebrating in the sense that that death might signal the end of a terrible governmental reign or political ideology that oppressed its citizens, or cause the unnecessary suffering and death of innocent people. The celebration could be both a celebration that the person can no longer inflict pain and suffering on others as well as hope that their successor be less atrocious, but that can often be a hope that is never achieved. I, personally, didn't celebrate Bin Laden's death because I knew that it wasn't going to end the war in Iraq, it wasn't going to end the war on terror, nothing was going to change and the next guy in line would step up to take his spot, who while the figure head is gone, that doesn't mean anything in terms of how the organization of Al Qaeda is run or it's future effectiveness.
The death of a business tycoon who took advantage of their employees probably warrants less celebration than a Kim Jung-il, but to the people oppressed by that business tycoon that death is probably worth celebrating with the hopes that the tycoon to replace them is more fair-minded.
The death of an annoying celebrity who is not hurting anyone but themselves and their reputations is probably not worth getting that celebratory over.
In terms of GOT,
Whether a person would celebrate someone else's death is entirely a personal matter and entirely up to how that death would impact the life of the person celebrating. Feel however you want.
