No, you're not lost, in fact, this is something that I myself have 
thought long and hard about (I was excited to find out who the new 
captain would be when GOF came out, but, alas, no Quidditch).

I see two possiblities:

1. Harry is made captain and Ron makes the team as the new Keeper.  
Harry may take some flack from the other Gryffindors for choosing Ron 
on the assupmtion that Ron made the team simply because he and Harry 
are friends.  

2. Someone else (Fred, George, Angelina, etc.) is made captain and 
Ron makes the team as the new Keeper.  The new captain graduates and 
in the 7th book, Ron is made the new captain.  Remember in PS/SS Ron 
sees himself as Quidditch captain in the Mirror of Erised.  It would 
be good to see something like that happen; it seems to me that 
Hogwarts is in for some rough times.
