Would it be possible for Mercury sized planets in the habitable zone to develop intelligent life?

Let's use Mercury as an example, we can pretend it orbits in the habitable zone of the Sun, would Mercury's magnetic field be able to protect an Earth like atmosphere? And would the lower gravity mean larger creatures? Also by Earth like atmosphere I mean similar composition, not pressure.
