What does supporting life have anything to do with it? A moon could support life. That doesn't make it a planet. If you take away size, then any asteroid (or worse, any measely meteoroid) circling the sun would be a planet. If you take away distance, then you include Oort Cloud objects, which have an orbit of 1 light year!
