Probably just pattern matching on it, and Quirrell is ridiculously powerful, but he was the one to notice and stun 100+ females summoning Harry to the ground.

And note Quirrell's comment:

“I should have foreseen it myself,” Professor Quirrell said,

He thinks he should have anticipated the actions of young girls taking actions based in romance. That's about the last context a grown man expects to be able to anticipate events.

Pattern matching as well, but the pattern matches quite a lot.
