What planet is considered a double planet with its moon?

None. Pluto-Charon was almost considered one in 2006, though that would be a dwarf double planet rather than a true double planet as Pluto is not a planet. In billions of years the Earth and Moon will be a double planet. Also, the question is non-sensical because if it was a double planet then they would both be planets... so there would be no moon. A planet would be considered a double planet with it's opposite planet, not moon.
