You can use this extension for creating customer attributes. http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/customer-attributes-manager-5092.html

and if you don't want to show them on front end you can modify saveAction() function of its indexcontroller.php where it decided where to show attributes. It can work with magento 1.7 CE
