Which planet is believed to be a double planet system?

When Pluto was still officially considered a "planet" in our solar system, it and it's moon Charon were considered by many to be a double planet system. Whenever a moon constitutes a considerable percentage of the host planet's mass, it may be considered a double planet system. For this reason, some consider the Earth and our moon to be a double planet system. Our system has by far the greatest planet to moon mass ratio; about 6:1. As for planets outside our solar system, I cannot say. Though there are many out there.
