I know this was a series of books, possibly written before the 90's. I never ending up finishing the first one and of course I can't remember a title/author. But I do remember the boy was some sort of an apprecetice and he had a name kind of like Skeeve or Skeevy. The illustrations even felt like Harry Potter. He had dark shaggy hair and glasses even (no scar hehe)...and a Dumbledore-like character as his master. Any help finding this would be appreciated!

Well, Skeeve, is an apprentice in the Myth Adventures by Robert Asprin.However, his master, Aahz, was not what I would call Dumbledore like. Plus, Skeeze had brown to sandy hair, and didn't wear glasses.

Thank you so much! Keep in mind my memory of it is very faulty since I had only flipped through as a child. I had never read more than a few pages and so could only remember a few pages. I'm sure somewhere along the way, I added a few Harry Potter elements as I was trying to remember what the book was called.
Rachel, Are you saying it might be one of the books Wayne suggested? If so, I guess you can find one of those books to see. Either way, members in this group can keep trying to find the book for you.

Sure thing. I just moved it to "solved."
